json_schema

The json_schema module contains classes and functions to allow the way JSON Schema is generated to be customized.

In general you shouldn't need to use this module directly; instead, you can BaseModel.model_json_schema and TypeAdapter.json_schema.

CoreSchemaOrFieldType module-attribute

CoreSchemaOrFieldType = Literal[
    core_schema.CoreSchemaType,
    core_schema.CoreSchemaFieldType,
]

A type alias for defined schema types that represents a union of core_schema.CoreSchemaType and core_schema.CoreSchemaFieldType.

JsonSchemaValue module-attribute

JsonSchemaValue = Dict[str, Any]

A type alias for a JSON schema value. This is a dictionary of string keys to arbitrary values.

JsonSchemaMode module-attribute

JsonSchemaMode = Literal['validation', 'serialization']

A type alias that represents the mode of a JSON schema; either 'validation' or 'serialization'.

For some types, the inputs to validation differ from the outputs of serialization. For example, computed fields will only be present when serializing, and should not be provided when validating. This flag provides a way to indicate whether you want the JSON schema required for validation inputs, or that will be matched by serialization outputs.

JsonSchemaWarningKind module-attribute

JsonSchemaWarningKind = Literal[
    "skipped-choice", "non-serializable-default"
]

A type alias representing the kinds of warnings that can be emitted during JSON schema generation.

See GenerateJsonSchema.render_warning_message for more details.

DEFAULT_REF_TEMPLATE module-attribute

DEFAULT_REF_TEMPLATE = '#/$defs/{model}'

The default format string used to generate reference names.

PydanticJsonSchemaWarning

Bases: UserWarning

This class is used to emit warnings produced during JSON schema generation. See the GenerateJsonSchema.emit_warning and GenerateJsonSchema.render_warning_message methods for more details; these can be overridden to control warning behavior.

GenerateJsonSchema

GenerateJsonSchema(
    by_alias=True, ref_template=DEFAULT_REF_TEMPLATE
)

A class for generating JSON schemas.

This class generates JSON schemas based on configured parameters. The default schema dialect is https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema. The class uses by_alias to configure how fields with multiple names are handled and ref_template to format reference names.

Attributes:

Name Type Description
schema_dialect

The JSON schema dialect used to generate the schema. See Declaring a Dialect in the JSON Schema documentation for more information about dialects.

ignored_warning_kinds set[JsonSchemaWarningKind]

Warnings to ignore when generating the schema. self.render_warning_message will do nothing if its argument kind is in ignored_warning_kinds; this value can be modified on subclasses to easily control which warnings are emitted.

by_alias

Whether or not to use field names when generating the schema.

ref_template

The format string used when generating reference names.

core_to_json_refs dict[CoreModeRef, JsonRef]

A mapping of core refs to JSON refs.

core_to_defs_refs dict[CoreModeRef, DefsRef]

A mapping of core refs to definition refs.

defs_to_core_refs dict[DefsRef, CoreModeRef]

A mapping of definition refs to core refs.

json_to_defs_refs dict[JsonRef, DefsRef]

A mapping of JSON refs to definition refs.

definitions dict[DefsRef, JsonSchemaValue]

Definitions in the schema.

collisions dict[DefsRef, JsonSchemaValue]

Definitions with colliding names. When collisions are detected, we choose a non-colliding name during generation, but we also track the colliding tag so that it can be remapped for the first occurrence at the end of the process.

defs_ref_fallbacks dict[DefsRef, JsonSchemaValue]

Core refs to fallback definitions refs.

_schema_type_to_method

A mapping of schema types to generator methods.

_used

Set to True after generating a schema to avoid re-use issues.

mode JsonSchemaMode

The schema mode.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
by_alias bool

Whether or not to include field names.

True
ref_template str

The format string to use when generating reference names.

DEFAULT_REF_TEMPLATE

Raises:

Type Description
JsonSchemaError

If the instance of the class is inadvertently re-used after generating a schema.

    self._used = False

ValidationsMapping

This class just contains mappings from core_schema attribute names to the corresponding JSON schema attribute names. While I suspect it is unlikely to be necessary, you can in principle override this class in a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema (by inheriting from GenerateJsonSchema.ValidationsMapping) to change these mappings.

build_schema_type_to_method

build_schema_type_to_method()

Builds a dictionary mapping fields to methods for generating JSON schemas.

Returns:

Type Description
dict[CoreSchemaOrFieldType, Callable[[CoreSchemaOrField], JsonSchemaValue]]

A dictionary containing the mapping of CoreSchemaOrFieldType to a handler method.

Raises:

Type Description
TypeError

If no method has been defined for generating a JSON schema for a given pydantic core schema type.

generate_definitions

generate_definitions(inputs)

Generates JSON schema definitions from a list of core schemas, pairing the generated definitions with a mapping that links the input keys to the definition references.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
inputs Sequence[tuple[JsonSchemaKeyT, JsonSchemaMode, core_schema.CoreSchema]]

A sequence of tuples, where:

  • The first element is a JSON schema key type.
  • The second element is the JSON mode: either 'validation' or 'serialization'.
  • The third element is a core schema.
required

Returns:

Type Description
tuple[dict[tuple[JsonSchemaKeyT, JsonSchemaMode], JsonSchemaValue], dict[DefsRef, JsonSchemaValue]]

A tuple where:

  • The first element is a dictionary whose keys are tuples of JSON schema key type and JSON mode, and whose values are the JSON schema corresponding to that pair of inputs. (These schemas may have JsonRef references to definitions that are defined in the second returned element.)
  • The second element is a dictionary whose keys are definition references for the JSON schemas from the first returned element, and whose values are the actual JSON schema definitions.

Raises:

Type Description
PydanticUserError

Raised if the JSON schema generator has already been used to generate a JSON schema.

Because of this, we first remove any sibling keys that are redundant with the referenced schema, then if any remain, we transform the schema from a top-level '$ref' to use allOf to move the $ref out of the top level.

render_warning_message

render_warning_message(kind, detail)

This method is responsible for ignoring warnings as desired, and for formatting the warning messages.

You can override the value of ignored_warning_kinds in a subclass of GenerateJsonSchema to modify what warnings are generated. If you want more control, you can override this method; just return None in situations where you don't want warnings to be emitted.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
kind JsonSchemaWarningKind

The kind of warning to render. It can be one of the following:

  • 'skipped-choice': A choice field was skipped because it had no valid choices.
  • 'non-serializable-default': A default value was skipped because it was not JSON-serializable.
required
detail str

A string with additional details about the warning.

required

Returns:

Type Description
str | None

The formatted warning message, or None if no warning should be emitted.

WithJsonSchema dataclass

Add this as an annotation on a field to override the (base) JSON schema that would be generated for that field. This provides a way to set a JSON schema for types that would otherwise raise errors when producing a JSON schema, such as Callable, or types that have an is-instance core schema, without needing to go so far as creating a custom subclass of pydantic.json_schema.GenerateJsonSchema. Note that any modifications to the schema that would normally be made (such as setting the title for model fields) will still be performed.

If mode is set this will only apply to that schema generation mode, allowing you to set different json schemas for validation and serialization.

Examples dataclass

Add examples to a JSON schema.

Examples should be a map of example names (strings) to example values (any valid JSON).

If mode is set this will only apply to that schema generation mode, allowing you to add different examples for validation and serialization.

SkipJsonSchema dataclass

Add this as an annotation on a field to skip generating a JSON schema for that field.

Example
from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic.json_schema import SkipJsonSchema

class Model(BaseModel):
    a: int | SkipJsonSchema[None] = None


print(Model.model_json_schema())
#> {'properties': {'a': {'default': None, 'title': 'A', 'type': 'integer'}}, 'title': 'Model', 'type': 'object'}

update_json_schema

update_json_schema(schema, updates)

Update a JSON schema by providing a dictionary of updates.
