``jsonschema`` is an implementation of `JSON Schema `_
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 `_,
`Draft 6 `_,
`Draft 4 `_
and
`Draft 3 `_
* `Lazy validation `_
that can iteratively report *all* validation errors.
* `Programmatic querying `_
of which properties or items failed validation.
Installation
------------
``jsonschema`` is available on `PyPI `_. You can install using `pip `_:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install jsonschema
Demo
----
Try ``jsonschema`` interactively in this online demo:

Release Notes
-------------
v3.1 brings support for ECMA 262 dialect regular expressions
throughout schemas, as recommended by the specification. Big
thanks to @Zac-HD for authoring support in a new `js-regex
`_ library.
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 `pyperf
`_.
Running them can be done via ``tox -e perf``, or by invoking the ``pyperf``
commands externally (after ensuring that both it and ``jsonschema`` itself are
installed)::
$ python -m pyperf jsonschema/benchmarks/test_suite.py --hist --output results.json
To compare to a previous run, use::
$ python -m pyperf compare_to --table reference.json results.json
See the ``pyperf`` documentation for more details.
