Can you show example? I believe you can use TypedDict to express that.

It’s roughly

    JSON = Union[Dict[str, JSON], List[JSON], str, bool, int, NoneType]

TypedDict isn’t for arbitrary JSON, but it is really cool.

Ah I see, TypedDict won't be useful here.

Looks like there is a work in progress though[1] and people in the ticket provided some workarounds[2][3] for now.
