``jsonschema`` is an implementation of `JSON Schema <https://json-schema.org>`_
for Python (supporting 2.7+ including Python 3).

.. code-block:: python

>>> 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(instance={"name" : "Eggs", "price" : 34.99}, schema=schema)

>>> validate(
... instance={"name" : "Eggs", "price" : "Invalid"}, schema=schema,
... ) # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValidationError: 'Invalid' is not of type 'number'

It can also be used from console:

.. code-block:: bash

$ jsonschema -i sample.json sample.schema

Features
--------

* Full support for
`Draft 7 <https://python-jsonschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/validate/#jsonschema.Draft7Validator>`_,
`Draft 6 <https://python-jsonschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/validate/#jsonschema.Draft6Validator>`_,
`Draft 4 <https://python-jsonschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/validate/#jsonschema.Draft4Validator>`_
and
`Draft 3 <https://python-jsonschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/validate/#jsonschema.Draft3Validator>`_

* `Lazy validation <https://python-jsonschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/validate/#jsonschema.IValidator.iter_errors>`_
that can iteratively report *all* validation errors.

* `Programmatic querying <https://python-jsonschema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/errors/#module-jsonschema>`_
of which properties or items failed validation.


Installation
------------

``jsonschema`` is available on `PyPI <https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/jsonschema/>`_. You can install using `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`_:

.. code-block:: bash

$ pip install jsonschema


Demo
----

Try ``jsonschema`` interactively in this online demo:

Release Notes
-------------

Version 3.0 brings support for Draft 7 (and 6). The interface for redefining
types has also been majorly overhauled to support easier redefinition of the
types a Validator will accept or allow.

jsonschema is also now tested under Windows via AppVeyor.

Thanks to all who contributed pull requests along the way.


Running the Test Suite
----------------------

If you have ``tox`` installed (perhaps via ``pip install tox`` or your
package manager), running ``tox`` in the directory of your source
checkout will run ``jsonschema``'s test suite on all of the versions
of Python ``jsonschema`` supports. If you don't have all of the
versions that ``jsonschema`` is tested under, you'll likely want to run
using ``tox``'s ``--skip-missing-interpreters`` option.

Of course you're also free to just run the tests on a single version with your
favorite test runner. The tests live in the ``jsonschema.tests`` package.


Benchmarks
----------

``jsonschema``'s benchmarks make use of `perf <https://perf.readthedocs.io>`_.

Running them can be done via ``tox -e perf``, or by invoking the ``perf``
commands externally (after ensuring that both it and ``jsonschema`` itself are
installed)::

$ python -m perf jsonschema/benchmarks/test_suite.py --hist --output results.json

To compare to a previous run, use::

$ python -m perf compare_to --table reference.json results.json

See the ``perf`` documentation for more details.


Community
---------

There's a `mailing list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jsonschema>`_
for this implementation on Google Groups.

Please join, and feel free to send questions there.
