Models to make easier to deal with structures that are to be casted to JSON.

Features

  • Fully tested with Python 2.7, 3.4 and PyPy.

  • Create Django-like models:

from jsonmodels import models, fields


class Cat(models.Base):

    name = fields.StringField(required=True)
    breed = fields.StringField()


class Dog(models.Base):

    name = fields.StringField(required=True)
    age = fields.IntField()


class Car(models.Base):

    registration_number = fields.StringField(required=True)
    engine_capacity = fields.FloatField()
    color = fields.StringField()


class Person(models.Base):

    name = fields.StringField(required=True)
    surname = fields.StringField(required=True)
    car = fields.EmbeddedField(Car)
    pets = fields.ListField([Cat, Dog])
  • Access to values through attributes:

>>> cat = Cat()
>>> cat.populate(name='Garfield')
>>> cat.name
'Garfield'
>>> cat.breed = 'mongrel'
>>> cat.breed
'mongrel'
  • Validate models:

>>> person = Person(name='Chuck', surname='Norris')
>>> person.validate()
None

>>> dog = Dog()
>>> dog.validate()
*** ValidationError: Field "name" is required!
  • Cast models to python struct and JSON:

>>> cat = Cat(name='Garfield')
>>> dog = Dog(name='Dogmeat', age=9)
>>> car = Car(registration_number='ASDF 777', color='red')
>>> person = Person(name='Johny', surname='Bravo', pets=[cat, dog])
>>> person.car = car
>>> person.to_struct()
{
    'car': {
        'color': 'red',
        'registration_number': 'ASDF 777'
    },
    'surname': 'Bravo',
    'name': 'Johny',
    'pets': [
        {'name': 'Garfield'},
        {'age': 9, 'name': 'Dogmeat'}
    ]
}

>>> import json
>>> person_json = json.dumps(person.to_struct())
  • You don’t like to write JSON Schema? Let jsonmodels do it for you:

>>> person = Person()
>>> person.to_json_schema()
{
    'additionalProperties': False,
    'required': ['surname', 'name'],
    'type': 'object',
    'properties': {
        'car': {
            'additionalProperties': False,
            'required': ['registration_number'],
            'type': 'object',
            'properties': {
                'color': {'type': 'string'},
                'engine_capacity': {'type': 'float'},
                'registration_number': {'type': 'string'}
            }
        },
        'surname': {'type': 'string'},
        'name': {'type': 'string'},
        'pets': {
            'items': {
                'oneOf': [
                    {
                        'additionalProperties': False,
                        'required': ['name'],
                        'type': 'object',
                        'properties': {
                            'breed': {'type': 'string'},
                            'name': {'type': 'string'}
                        }
                    },
                    {
                        'additionalProperties': False,
                        'required': ['name'],
                        'type': 'object',
                        'properties': {
                            'age': {'type': 'integer'},
                            'name': {'type': 'string'}
                        }
                    }
                ]
            },
            'type': 'list'
        }
    }
}
