Fill a JSON instance in Python with the missing defaults from its JSON Schema Draft 2020-12-valid schema.
from jsonschema_fill_default import fill_default
schema = {
"properties": {
"text": {"default": "Hello"},
"font": {"default": 12},
}
}
instance = {"text": "Goodbye"}
fill_default(instance, schema) # Mutates instance!
>>> instance
{
"text": "Goodbye",
"font": 12
}
Caution
Filled instances are not automatically validated.
See Load, validate, deference, fill for how you can validate instances and schemas.
jsonschema-fill-default
is available on PyPI
. You can install using pip
:
pip install jsonschema-fill-default
-
Fills all missing defaults, including nested ones.
-
Uses the first applicable default if multiple defaults exist for a single property.
-
Works with the following keywords and any combination thereof (see examples for details):
"properties"
"allOf"
"anyOf"
"oneOf"
"dependentSchemas"
"if-then(-else)"
"prefixItems"
"items"
Important
- The instance must already be valid to its schema.
- The schema itself must be a valid Draft 2020-12 JSON Schema.
- The filled instance is not automatically validated.
See unabridged script at examples/load_validate_dereference_fill.py.

I use conda
to create a virtual environment with Python, pip
, and poetry
.
I then add the dependencies using poetry install
, which automatically adds them to that conda
environment.
Here's how:
For example, create and activate a virtual environment env
in the root of the project repo using requirements.dev.txt
as reference:
cd /root/of/this/repo
conda env create --prefix ./env python=3.9
conda activate ./env
pip install poetry==1.8.5
I don't use an environment.yml
to solve and install the conda
environment because it's typically slower than just running the above "manual" install.
poetry install
Once set up, you can use the development environment in the future by simply activating the conda
environment.
If you used the example above, that would be:
cd /root/of/this/repo
conda activate ./env
From this post by reostra:
For example, having
stuff/ __init__.py bigstuff.py Stuffinator() Stuffinatrix() privateStuff.py
where init.py contains
from .bigstuff import Stuffinator, Stuffinatrix
and thereby users can import those with
from stuff import Stuffinator, Stuffinatrix
which essentially says that stuff.Stuffinator and stuff.Stuffinatrix are the only parts of the module intended for public use.
While there's nothing stopping people from doing an 'import stuff.bigstuff.Stuffometer' or 'import stuff.privateStuff.HiddenStuff', they'll at least know they're peeking behind the curtain at that point.
Rather than being implicit, I find it's rather explicit.
