marshmallow-jsonschema translates marshmallow schemas into JSON Schema Draft v7 compliant jsonschema. See http://json-schema.org/
What are the use cases for this? Let's say you have a marshmallow schema in python, but you want to render your schema as a form in another system (for example: a web browser or mobile device).
Requires python>=3.6 and marshmallow>=3. (For python 2 & marshmallow 2 support, please use marshmallow-jsonschema<0.11)
pip install marshmallow-jsonschema
- react-jsonschema-form (recommended)
- See below extension for this excellent library!

from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from marshmallow_jsonschema import JSONSchema
class UserSchema(Schema):
username = fields.String()
age = fields.Integer()
birthday = fields.Date()
user_schema = UserSchema()
json_schema = JSONSchema()
json_schema.dump(user_schema)Yields:
{'properties': {'age': {'format': 'integer',
'title': 'age',
'type': 'number'},
'birthday': {'format': 'date',
'title': 'birthday',
'type': 'string'},
'username': {'title': 'username', 'type': 'string'}},
'required': [],
'type': 'object'}from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from marshmallow_jsonschema import JSONSchema
from tests import UserSchema
class Athlete(object):
user_schema = UserSchema()
def __init__(self):
self.name = 'sam'
class AthleteSchema(Schema):
user_schema = fields.Nested(JSONSchema)
name = fields.String()
athlete = Athlete()
athlete_schema = AthleteSchema()
athlete_schema.dump(athlete)
This example renders a form not dissimilar to how wtforms might render a form.
However rather than rendering the form in python, the JSON Schema is rendered using the javascript library brutusin/json-forms.
from flask import Flask, jsonify
from marshmallow import Schema, fields
from marshmallow_jsonschema import JSONSchema
app = Flask(__name__)
class UserSchema(Schema):
name = fields.String()
address = fields.String()
@app.route('/schema')
def schema():
schema = UserSchema()
return jsonify(JSONSchema().dump(schema))
@app.route('/')

app.run(host='0.0.0.0', debug=True)Simply add a _jsonschema_type_mapping method to your field
so we know how it ought to get serialized to JSON Schema.
A common use case for this is creating a dropdown menu using enum (see Gender below).
class Colour(fields.Field):
def _jsonschema_type_mapping(self):
return {
'type': 'string',
}
def _serialize(self, value, attr, obj):
r, g, b = value
r = "%02X" % (r,)
g = "%02X" % (g,)
b = "%02X" % (b,)
return '#' + r + g + b
class Gender(fields.String):
def _jsonschema_type_mapping(self):
return {
'type': 'string',
'enum': ['Male', 'Female']
}
class UserSchema(Schema):
name = fields.String(required=True)
favourite_colour = Colour()
gender = Gender()
schema = UserSchema()
json_schema = JSONSchema()
json_schema.dump(schema)react-jsonschema-form
is a library for rendering jsonschemas as a form using React. It is very powerful
and full featured.. the catch is that it requires a proprietary
uiSchema
to provide advanced control how the form is rendered.
Here's a live playground
(new in version 0.10.0)
from marshmallow_jsonschema.extensions import ReactJsonSchemaFormJSONSchema
class MySchema(Schema):
first_name = fields.String(
metadata={
'ui:autofocus': True,
}
)
last_name = fields.String()
class Meta:
react_uischema_extra = {
'ui:order': [
'first_name',
'last_name',
]
}
json_schema_obj = ReactJsonSchemaFormJSONSchema()
schema = MySchema()
# here's your jsonschema
data = json_schema_obj.dump(schema)
# ..and here's your uiSchema!
ui_schema_json = json_schema_obj.dump_uischema(schema)
