+.. _psycopg.rows:
+
+`rows` -- row factory implementations
+=====================================
+
+.. module:: psycopg.rows
+
+The module exposes a few generic `~psycopg.RowFactory` implementation, which
+can be used to retrieve data from the database in more complex structures than
+the basic tuples.
+
+Check out :ref:`row-factories` for information about how to use these objects.
+
+.. autofunction:: tuple_row
+.. autofunction:: dict_row
+.. autofunction:: namedtuple_row
+.. autofunction:: class_row
+
+    This is not a row factory, but rather a factory of row factories.
+    Specifying `!row_factory=class_row(MyClass)` will create connections and
+    cursors returning `!MyClass` objects on fetch.
+
+    Example::
+
+        from dataclasses import dataclass
+        import psycopg
+        from psycopg.rows import class_row
+
+        @dataclass
+        class Person:
+            first_name: str
+            last_name: str
+            age: int = None
+
+        conn = psycopg.connect()
+        cur = conn.cursor(row_factory=class_row(Person))
+
+        cur.execute("select 'John' as first_name, 'Smith' as last_name").fetchone()
+        # Person(first_name='John', last_name='Smith', age=None)
+
+.. autofunction:: args_row
+.. autofunction:: kwargs_row
+
+
+Formal rows protocols
+---------------------
+
+These objects can be used to describe your own rows adapter for static typing
+checks, such as mypy_.
+
+.. _mypy: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/
+
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.RowMaker()
+
+   .. method:: __call__(values: Sequence[Any]) -> Row
+
+        Convert a sequence of values from the database to a finished object.
+
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.RowFactory()
+
+   .. method:: __call__(cursor: Cursor[Row]) -> RowMaker[Row]
+
+        Inspect the result on a cursor and return a `RowMaker` to convert rows.
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.AsyncRowFactory()
+
+.. autoclass:: psycopg.rows.BaseRowFactory()
+
+Note that it's easy to implement an object implementing both `!RowFactory` and
+`!AsyncRowFactory`: usually, everything you need to implement a row factory is
+to access the cursor's `~psycopg.Cursor.description`, which is provided by
+both the cursor flavours.
