dirschema
A directory structure and metadata linter based on JSON Schema.
JSON Schema is great for validating (files containing) JSON objects that e.g. contain metadata, but these are only the smallest pieces in the organization of a whole directory structure, e.g. of some dataset of project. When working on datasets of a certain kind, they might contain various types of data, each different file requiring different accompanying metadata, based on its file type and/or location.
DirSchema combines JSON Schemas and regexes into a solution to enforce structural dependencies and metadata requirements in directories and directory-like archives. With it you can for example check that:
- only files of a certain type are in a location (e.g. only
jpgfiles in directoryimg) - for each data file there exists a metadata file (e.g.
test.jpghastest.jpg_meta.json) - each metadata file is valid according to some JSON Schema
If validating these kinds of constraints looks appealing to you, this tool is for you!
Dirschema features:
- Built-in support for schemas and metadata stored as JSON or YAML
- Built-in support for checking contents of ZIP and HDF5 archives
- Extensible validation interface for advanced needs beyond JSON Schema
- Both a Python library and a CLI tool to perform the validation
Installation
pip install dirschema
Getting Started
The dirschema tool needs as input:
- a DirSchema YAML file (containing a specification), and
- a path to a directory or file (e.g. zip file) that should be checked.
You can run it like this:
dirschema my_dirschema.yaml DIRECTORY_OR_ARCHIVE_PATH
If the validation was successful, there will be no output. Otherwise, the tool will output a list of errors (e.g. invalid metadata, missing files, etc.).
You can also use dirschema from other Python code as a library:
python
from dirschema.validate import DSValidator
DSValidator("/path/to/dirschema").validate("/dataset/path")
Similarly, the method will return an error dict, which will be empty if the validation succeeded.
