This renames `msgspec.from_builtins` to `msgspec.convert`, keeping around a deprecated version of `from_builtins` that warns and forwards its arguments to `convert`. Since `from_builtins` now supports inputs from non-builtin types, the old name no longer makes sense.
This renames the `str_values` kwarg in `from_values` to `strict` (and inverts the default). This is preparation for adding `strict=False` support to all builtin decoders, enabling opt-in behavior to more flexible parsing.
This is a better keyword name (and also happens to match the one used by pydantic V2). This isn't a breaking change since this feature has yet to be released.
If we need to support converting to the original attribute names, we can add another config option later. Using the renamed names provides better uniformity across the library.
This also adds support for coercing str subclasses to any str-like value.

This is a major overhaul of the existing
msgspec.from_builtinsfunction.In short: the capabilities of
msgspec.from_builtinshave been expanded to support a wider range of input types (the full set of types supported by othermsgspecfunctions). To better match the new capabilities,msgspec.from_builtinsfunction has been renamed tomsgspec.convert, with the old name deprecated.Summary:
msgspec.from_builtinshas been deprecated and renamed tomsgspec.convert. The capabilities ofconvertare a superset of those of the oldfrom_builtins. Note that some of the keyword arguments have changed names.from_builtinsavailable by settingstr_values=Trueis now renamed tostrict=Falseinmsgspec.convert. Settingstrict=Falseenables a laxer set of coercion rules (msgspec is strict by default). The intent is to support this kwarg in all decoders in a follow-up PR.attributeskwarg added in Addattributesoption tofrom_builtins#419 has been renamed tofrom_attributes. Since this feature hasn't been released yet, this is not a breaking change.msgspec.convertnow supports any supported type as input. For the most part non-python-builtin types (e.g. dataclasses, attrs, ...) won't coerce to any other types, but will be type checked.Note that the prose documentation hasn't been updated yet, this will done in a follow-up PR before the next release, once the remaining refactor changes have landed.
