An implementation of JSON Schema validation for Python
Project description
jsonschema is an implementation of JSON Schema for Python (supporting 2.6+ including Python 3).
>>> from jsonschema import validate
>>> # A sample schema, like what we'd get from json.load()
>>> schema = {
... "type" : "object",
... "properties" : {
... "price" : {"type" : "number"},
... "name" : {"type" : "string"},
... },
... }
>>> # If no exception is raised by validate(), the instance is valid.
>>> validate({"name" : "Eggs", "price" : 34.99}, schema)
>>> validate(
... {"name" : "Eggs", "price" : "Invalid"}, schema
... ) # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValidationError: 'Invalid' is not of type 'number'Features
Full support for Draft 3 of the schema
Lazy validation that can iteratively report all validation errors.
Small and extensible
Programmatic querying of which properties or items failed validation.
Release Notes
v0.8.0 introduces full support for JSON references via the RefResolver object. It also removes all of the deprecated code from v0.7.
Other notable fixes are a fix for improper support of uniqueItems for True and False (#34) and any for unknown types (#47).
Notably, there now exists some documentation (woo hoo!). It can be found at:
There are still a few incomplete sections, but it’s mostly there. Patches welcome for weak points.
Running the Test Suite
jsonschema uses the wonderful Tox for its test suite. (It really is wonderful, if for some reason you haven’t heard of it, you really should use it for your projects).
Assuming you have tox installed (perhaps via pip install tox or your package manager), just run tox in the directory of your source checkout to run jsonschema’s test suite on all of the versions of Python jsonschema supports. Note that you’ll need to have all of those versions installed in order to run the tests on each of them, otherwise tox will skip (and fail) the tests on that version.
