It lets you declare data models with typed fields (like StringType, URLType, etc.), then validate incoming data against those schemas and convert between formats like JSON. The library is modeled after ORM type systems but has no database layer\u2014it stops at data validation and transformation, leaving persistence to you.\n\nCommon uses include documenting API input schemas, validating request payloads, serializing objects to JSON or other formats, and filtering fields based on access control. You define a Model class with typed fields, instantiate it with data, call validate() to check constraints, and use to_primitive() to export as a dictionary or JSON.","worth_installing":"No\u2014the project is abandoned (last release 2021-08-17, no commits since 2023-07-12). While it has low install friction and a permissive license, the lack of maintenance means no bug fixes, security patches, or compatibility updates for modern Python versions. For new projects, use actively maintained alternatives."},"id":"schematics","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/schematics","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/schematics.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/schematics/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-08-17","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"schematics","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python Data Structures for Humans"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":638422,"position":5619,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.1"}
