A Python library for automatically generating Pydantic v2 models from JSON Schema definitions

JSON Schema to Pydantic

A Python library for automatically generating Pydantic v2 models from JSON Schema definitions.

Features

• Converts JSON Schema to Pydantic v2 models
• Supports complex schema features including:
  • References ($ref) with circular reference detection
  • Combiners (allOf, anyOf, oneOf) with proper type discrimination
  • Type constraints and validations
  • Array and object validations
  • Format validations (email, uri, uuid, date-time)
• Full type hinting support
• Clean, simple API

Installation

pip install json-schema-to-pydantic

Development Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. Install development dependencies:

# Using uv (recommended)
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Or using pip
pip install -e ".[dev]"

3. Run tests:

pytest

Quick Start

from json_schema_to_pydantic import create_model

# Define your JSON Schema
schema = {
    "title": "User",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "name": {"type": "string"},
        "email": {"type": "string", "format": "email"},
        "age": {"type": "integer", "minimum": 0}
    },
    "required": ["name", "email"]
}

# Generate your Pydantic model
UserModel = create_model(schema)

# Use the model
user = UserModel(
    name="John Doe",
    email="[e-mail]",
    age=30
)

# Example with relaxed array item validation
RelaxedModel = create_model(
    {"type": "object", "properties": {"tags": {"type": "array"}}},
    allow_undefined_array_items=True
)
relaxed_instance = RelaxedModel(tags=[1, "two", True])

Advanced Usage

For more complex scenarios, you can use the PydanticModelBuilder directly:

from json_schema_to_pydantic import PydanticModelBuilder

builder = PydanticModelBuilder()
model = builder.create_pydantic_model(schema, root_schema)

Error Handling

The library provides specific exceptions for different error cases:

from json_schema_to_pydantic import (
    SchemaError,     # Base class for all schema errors
    TypeError,       # Invalid or unsupported type
    CombinerError,   # Error in schema combiners
    ReferenceError,  # Error in schema references
)

try:
    model = create_model(schema)
except TypeError as e:
    print(f"Invalid type in schema: {e}")
except ReferenceError as e:
    print(f"Invalid reference: {e}")
