"🌊 Plecos are fish which mostly eat green surface algae and are excellent window cleaners."

Hypostomus plecostomus, the suckermouth catfish or common pleco, ('hypo' = under, 'stoma' = mouth, 'pleco'= pleated) is a tropical fish belonging to the armored catfish family (Loricariidae), named for the armor-like longitudinal rows of scutes that cover the upper parts of the head and body. Hypostomus plecostomus is named for its sucker-like mouth, which allows it to adhere to a surface, as well as to hold and rasp at food. This omnivorous species feeds on algae, aquatic plants, and small crustaceans. -Wikipedia

Quickstart

After installing and importing the package, call the .is_valid(YOUR_JSON_PATH) function to check a json file against the latest OEP8 schema.

from pathlib import Path
import plecos

# Get a file path to your metadata.json file
PATH_DATA_ROOT = Path("~/DATA").expanduser()
path_to_json = PATH_DATA_ROOT / 'metadata.json'

# Check if valid, if not - list the error in a summary form
if not plecos.is_valid(path_to_json):
    plecos.list_errors(path_to_json)
