Installation¶

check-jsonschema is distributed as a python package. Install with pip or pipx:

pip install check-jsonschema

# or pipx
pipx install check-jsonschema

You may also want to install additional packages that jsonschema uses to validate specific string formats:

pip install check-jsonschema 'jsonschema[format]'

# or pipx
pipx install check-jsonschema
pipx inject check-jsonschema 'jsonschema[format]'

Supported Pythons¶

check-jsonschema requires Python 3 and supports all of the versions which are maintained by the CPython team.

It is only tested on cpython but should work on other interpreters as well.

If installing with pip, make sure you use a virtualenv to isolate the installation from the rest of your system.

pip install --user check-jsonschema might work and seem convenient, but it has problems which pipx or virtualenv usage resolve.

If you are using pre-commit to run check-jsonschema, no installation is necessary. pre-commit will automatically install and run the hooks.
