Pydantic Comparison

Comparing Koda Validate and Pydantic is not exactly apples-to-apples, since Koda Validate is more narrowly aimed at just validation. Nonetheless, this is one of the most common questions, and there are a number of noteworthy differences:

• Koda Validate is built around a simple, composable definition of validation.

• Koda Validate is fully asyncio-compatible.

• Koda Validate allows the user to control coercion.

• Koda Validate requires no plugins for mypy compatibility.

• Koda Validate is competitive with rust-compiled Pydantic 2.x in speed of synchronous validation (despite being pure Python). You can run the benchmark suite on your system with python -m bench.run
