Overview#
At it’s core, Koda Validate is little more than a few function signatures (see Validators, Predicates, Coercion, and Processors), which can be combined to build validators of arbitrary complexity. This simplicity also provides straightforward paths for:
optimization: Koda Validate tends to be fast (for Python)
extension: Koda Validate can be extended to Validate essentially anything, even asynchronusly.
Note
If you’ve run into edge cases that you can’t work around in other validation libraries, please
take a look at Extension. The simplest way to work around Validator
quirks in Koda Validate
is often to write your own.

Validator
s, Predicate
s, Coercer
s, and Processor
s in Koda Validate are not coupled with
any specific framework, serialization format, or language. Instead Koda Validate aims to make it
straightforward to contextualize validation outputs and artifacts – by writing interpreters that
consume a Validator
and produce some output. This effectively makes Koda Validate just as easy to
work with in any framework, format or langauge. More info is available at Metadata.
