It was extracted from the Data Contract CLI as a standalone library and mirrors the major and minor version numbers of the specification it supports (1.2.x for spec 1.2.0). The package requires Python 3.10 or later and depends only on pydantic and pyyaml.\n\nYou use it to parse existing data contract YAML files into Python objects via from_file() or from_string(), inspect and manipulate the contract structure, and serialize it back to YAML. It's designed as a low-level serialization layer rather than a full data governance platform.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need programmatic access to Data Contract Specification files in Python. The low install friction, permissive license, and small dependency footprint make it a reasonable choice. However, the aging maintenance status (323 days since last release) suggests checking whether the package is still actively developed before adopting it for critical workflows."},"id":"datacontract-specification","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/datacontract-specification","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/datacontract-specification.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/datacontract-specification/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"datacontract-specification","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The Pydantic Model of the Data Contract Specification"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1305007,"position":4081,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.3"}
