Data modeling and validation Python library

This project is a fork of official project* with some new features.

Booby is a standalone data modeling and validation library written in Python. Booby is under active development (visit this blog post for more info and the roadmap) and licensed under the Apache2 license, so feel free to contribute and report errors and suggestions.

Usage

See the sample code below to get an idea of the main features.

from booby import Model, fields


class Token(Model):
    key = fields.String()
    secret = fields.String()


class Address(Model):
    line_1 = fields.String()
    line_2 = fields.String()


class User(Model):
    login = fields.String(required=True)
    name = fields.String()
    email = fields.Email()
    site = fields.URL()
    token = fields.Embedded(Token, required=True)
    addresses = fields.Collection(Address)

jack = User(
    login='jack',
    name='Jack',
    email='[e-mail]',
    url='http://mysite.com',
    token={
        'key': 'vs7dfxxx',
        'secret': 'ds5ds4xxx'
    },
    addresses=[
        {'line_1': 'Main Street'},
        {'line_1': 'Main St'}
    ]
)

if jack.is_valid:
    print jack.to_json(indent=2)
else:
    print json.dumps(dict(jack.validation_errors))

{
  "email": "[e-mail]",
  "url": "http://mysite.com",
  "login": "jack",
  "token": {
    "secret": "ds5ds4xxx",
    "key": "vs7dfxxx"
  },
  "name": "Jack",
  "addresses": [
    {
      "line_1": "Main St",
      "line_2": null
    },
    {
      "line_1": "Main Street",
      "line_2": null
    }
  ]
}
