Pydantic

Pydantic is a Python library for data validation and settings management using Python type annotations. It enforces type hints at runtime, provides user-friendly error messages, and serializes data to and from JSON or other formats. It is widely used for parsing and validating data in web APIs, configuration files, and data pipelines.

Also known as: pydantic, Pydantic Library, Python Pydantic, pydantic-py, pydantic2

Why learn Pydantic?

Developers should use Pydantic when building Python applications that require robust data validation, such as FastAPI web frameworks, data processing scripts, or configuration management. It simplifies handling user input, API requests, and environment variables by ensuring data integrity and reducing boilerplate code for validation.
