JSON Schema

Usage Documentation

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 use BaseModel.model_json_schema and TypeAdapter.json_schema.

CoreSchemaOrFieldType `module-attribute` ¶

CoreSchemaOrFieldType = Literal[
    CoreSchemaType, 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 JSON 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: bool = True,
    ref_template: str = DEFAULT_REF_TEMPLATE,
)

Usage Documentation

Customizing the JSON Schema Generation Process

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 to use field aliases 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.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
`by_alias`	`bool`	Whether to use field aliases in the generated schemas.	`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.

    # But it's possible that CoreSchema was never going to be used
    # (e.g. because the CoreSchema that references short circuits is JSON schema generation without needing
    #  the reference) so instead of failing altogether if we can't build a definition we
    # store the error raised and re-throw it if we end up needing that def

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() -> dict[
    CoreSchemaOrFieldType,

Parameters:

`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

WithJsonSchema `dataclass` ¶

WithJsonSchema(
    json_schema: JsonSchemaValue | None,
    mode: (
        Literal["validation", "serialization"] | None
    ) = None,
)

Usage Documentation

WithJsonSchema annotation

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 ¶

Examples(
    examples: dict[str, Any] | list[Any],
    mode: (
        Literal["validation", "serialization"] | None
    ) = None,
)

Add examples to a JSON schema.

If the JSON Schema already contains examples, the provided examples will be appended.

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

Source code in pydantic/json_schema.py

    self, examples: dict[str, Any] | list[Any], mode: Literal['validation', 'serialization'] | None = None
) -> None:

SkipJsonSchema `dataclass` ¶

SkipJsonSchema()

Usage Documentation

SkipJsonSchema annotation

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

Example

from typing import Union

from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic.json_schema import SkipJsonSchema

from pprint import pprint


class Model(BaseModel):
    a: Union[int, None] = None  # (1)!
    b: Union[int, SkipJsonSchema[None]] = None  # (2)!
    c: SkipJsonSchema[Union[int, None]] = None  # (3)!


pprint(Model.model_json_schema())
'''
{
    'properties': {
        'a': {
            'anyOf': [
                {'type': 'integer'},
                {'type': 'null'}
            ],
            'default': None,
            'title': 'A'
        },
        'b': {
            'default': None,
            'title': 'B',
            'type': 'integer'
        }
    },
    'title': 'Model',
    'type': 'object'
}
'''

The integer and null types are both included in the schema for a.
The integer type is the only type included in the schema for b.
The entirety of the c field is omitted from the schema.
