Extract from a JSON/dict only whats in the JSON Schema. Assumes that the JSON/dict you supply is valid according to the JSON Schema you also supply.

Installation

Simple install with pip::

pip install json-schema-reducer

How to use it

Suppose you have two files on disk: schema.json and mything.json. And suppose that the schema.json only lists the properties foo and bar but the file mything.json contains many more things::

>>> from json_schema_reducer import make_reduced_dict
>>> make_reduced_dict('schema.json', 'mything.json')
{'foo': 'value1', 'bar': 'value2'}

The arguments are flexible. You can also do this::

>>> make_reduced_dict(open('schema.json'), open('mything.json'))

Or this::

>>> make_reduced_dict(open('schema.json').read(), open('mything.json').read())

Or this::

>>> make_reduced_dict(
...   json.load(open('schema.json')),
...   json.load(open('mything.json')))

Runnings tests

Simply run::

python setup.py test
