It provides lightweight schema parsing, validation, and export functionality, serving as the reference implementation used for testing the BIDS schema itself. The library is designed for neuroimaging researchers and developers who need to programmatically interact with BIDS metadata structures.\n\nThe package includes both a Python API for direct schema manipulation and simple command-line bindings (such as `bst export`) for common tasks. It depends on three runtime libraries: acres, click for CLI support, and pyyaml for schema file handling. The project is actively maintained by the BIDS community and supports modern Python versions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you work with BIDS datasets or neuroimaging data structures. The package has low install friction, active maintenance, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. It is marked Beta but serves as the reference implementation for BIDS schema testing, suggesting stability for its intended use. Install it if you need to validate, parse, or export BIDS schema metadata."},"id":"bidsschematools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bidsschematools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/bidsschematools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/bidsschematools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"bidsschematools","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python tools for working with the BIDS schema."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":172396,"position":10338,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.7"}
