Overview

At its 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 asynchronously.

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.

Flexible

Validators, Predicates, Coercers, and Processors 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 language. More info is available at Metadata.
