pip install fastjsonschema
Support only for Python 3.3 and higher.
About
*****
``fastjsonschema`` implements validation of JSON documents by JSON schema.
The library implements JSON schema drafts 04, 06, and 07. The main purpose is
to have a really fast implementation. See some numbers:
* Probably the most popular, ``jsonschema``, can take up to 5 seconds for valid
inputs and 1.2 seconds for invalid inputs.
* Second most popular, ``json-spec``, is even worse with up to 7.2 and 1.7 seconds.
* Last ``validictory``, now deprecated, is much better with 370 or 23 milliseconds,
but it does not follow all standards, and it can be still slow for some purposes.
With this library you can gain big improvements as ``fastjsonschema`` takes
only about 25 milliseconds for valid inputs and 2 milliseconds for invalid ones.
Pretty amazing, right? :-)
Technically it works by generating the most stupid code on the fly, which is fast but
is hard to write by hand. The best efficiency is achieved when a validator is compiled
once and used many times, of course. It works similarly like regular expressions. But
you can also generate the code to a file, which is even slightly faster.
You can run the performance benchmarks on your computer or server with the included
script:
.. code-block:: bash
$ make performance
fast_compiled valid ==> 0.0464646
fast_compiled invalid ==> 0.0030227
fast_file valid ==> 0.0461219
fast_file invalid ==> 0.0030608
fast_not_compiled valid ==> 11.4627202
fast_not_compiled invalid ==> 2.5726230
jsonschema valid ==> 7.5844927
jsonschema invalid ==> 1.9204665
jsonschema_compiled valid ==> 0.6938364
jsonschema_compiled invalid ==> 0.0359244
jsonspec valid ==> 9.0715843
jsonspec invalid ==> 2.1650488
validictory valid ==> 0.4874793
validictory invalid ==> 0.0232244
This library follows and implements `JSON schema draft-04, draft-06, and draft-07
<http://json-schema.org>`_. Sometimes it's not perfectly clear, so I recommend also
check out this `understanding JSON schema <https://spacetelescope.github.io/understanding-json-schema>`_.
Note that there are some differences compared to JSON schema standard:
* Regular expressions are full Python ones, not only what JSON schema allows. It's easier
to allow everything, and also it's faster to compile without limits. So keep in mind that when
you will use a more advanced regular expression, it may not work with other libraries or in
other languages.
* Because Python matches new line for a dollar in regular expressions (``a$`` matches ``a`` and ``a\\n``),
instead of ``$`` is used ``\Z`` and all dollars in your regular expression are changed to ``\\Z``
as well. When you want to use dollar as regular character, you have to escape it (``\$``).
* JSON schema says you can use keyword ``default`` for providing default values. This implementation
uses that and always returns transformed input data.

Supported implementations are draft-04, draft-06 and draft-07. Which version
should be used is determined by `$draft` in your ``definition``. When not
specified, the latest implementation is used (draft-07).

You can pass mapping from URI to function that should be used to retrieve
remote schemes used in your ``definition`` in parameter ``handlers``.
Also, you can pass mapping for custom formats. Key is the name of your
formatter and value can be regular expression, which will be compiled or
callback returning `bool` (or you can raise your own exception).
.. code-block:: python
validate = fastjsonschema.compile(definition, formats={
'foo': r'foo|bar',
'bar': lambda value: value in ('foo', 'bar'),
})
Note that formats are automatically used as assertions. It can be turned
off by passing `use_formats=False`. When disabled, custom formats are
disabled as well. (Added in 2.19.0.)
Exception :any:`JsonSchemaDefinitionException` is raised when generating the
code fails (bad definition).
Exception :any:`JsonSchemaValueException` is raised from generated function when
validation fails (data do not follow the definition).
