  • Forced to move away from Django template because of nested forms ?

    Forms are hard. We use python jsonschema to write our form schemas and validation and use react json schema form for the front end. It's a long time in the making and we still have to write widgets and extensions to get everything we need. Good luck.
  • I wrote okjson - A fast, simple, and pythonic JSON Schema Validator
    8 projects | /r/Python | 31 Mar 2022
    I had a requirement to process and validate large payloads of JSON concurrently for a web service, initially I implemented it using jsonschema and fastjsonschema but I found the whole JSON Schema Specification to be confusing at times and on top of that wanted better performance. Albeit there are ways to compile/cache the schema, I wanted to move away from the schema specification so I wrote a validation library inspired by the design of tiangolo/sqlmodel (type hints) to solve this problem easier.
  • Validating a YAML file

    This is a hard problem, because, if I understand you correctly, you issue is that you are using something like this: https://github.com/Julian/jsonschema, but want to make the error messages more specific. That means you will need to understand the package sufficiently to find out where it is encountering issues and then provide a more human readable error. Definitely doable, but the first piece, understanding the package enough to revise the messages is difficult.
