jsonschema is an implementation of JSON Schema for Python (supporting 2.7+ including Python 3).
JSON Schema is a powerful tool for validating the structure of JSON data. JSON stands for “JavaScript Object Notation”, a simple data interchange format. It began as a notation for the World Wide Web. Since JavaScript exists in most web browsers, and JSON is based on JavaScript, it’s very easy to support there. However, it has proven useful enough and simple enough that it is now used in many other contexts that don’t involve web surfing.
jsonschema can also be used from a terminal.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Fast and simple to use.
- 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.
- Support for ECMA 262 dialect regular expressions throughout schemas, as recommended by the specification.
