Quickstart

The fastest way to validate a schema against json is to use the validate() function provided in json_schema_validator.shortcuts.

To import 'shortcuts' use: from json_schema_validator.shortcuts import *

The function validate() provided by 'shortcuts' takes two positional arguments, schema text and json text. Simply pass in a valid json schema as raw string and then the json text to validate as a raw string:

from json_schema_validator.shortcuts import *

schema = open("a_schema.json", 'r')
json = open("some_json.json", 'r')

validate(schema.read(), json.read())

validate() will first test the schema parameter against it's schema specification, followed by the json parameter against the schema parameter. Problems with...

• json syntax in either schema or json subject documents
• adherence to schema specifications
• adherence of your subject json to your provided schema

...will throw exceptions, otherwise this function will return True
