Data validation and settings management using Python type hinting.

Fast and extensible, *pydantic* plays nicely with your linters/IDE/brain.
Define how data should be in pure, canonical Python 3.6+; validate it with *pydantic*.

## Help

See [documentation](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/) for more details.

## Installation

Install using `pip install -U pydantic` or `conda install pydantic -c conda-forge`.
For more installation options to make *pydantic* even faster,
see the [Install](https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/install/) section in the documentation.

## A Simple Example

```py
from datetime import datetime
from typing import List, Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel

class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name = 'John Doe'
    signup_ts: Optional[datetime] = None
    friends: List[int] = []

external_data = {'id': '123', 'signup_ts': '2017-06-01 12:22', 'friends': [1, '2', b'3']}
user = User(**external_data)
print(user)
#> User id=123 name='John Doe' signup_ts=datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 1, 12, 22) friends=[1, 2, 3]
print(user.id)
#> 123
```

* Add a new `frozen` boolean parameter to `Config` (default: `False`).
  Setting `frozen=True` does everything that `allow_mutation=False` does, and also generates a `__hash__()` method for the model. This makes instances of the model potentially hashable if all the attributes are hashable, [#1880](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1880) by [@rhuille](https://github.com/rhuille)

* Fix: some recursive models did not require `update_forward_refs` and silently behaved incorrectly, [#1201](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1201) by [@PrettyWood](https://github.com/PrettyWood)
* Fix bug where generic models with fields where the typevar is nested in another type `a: List[T]` are considered to be concrete. This allows these models to be subclassed and composed as expected, [#947](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/947) by [@daviskirk](https://github.com/daviskirk)
* Add `Config.copy_on_model_validation` flag. When set to `False`, _pydantic_ will keep models used as fields
  untouched on validation instead of reconstructing (copying) them, [#265](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/265) by [@PrettyWood](https://github.com/PrettyWood)

## v1.7.4 (2021-05-11)

* **Security fix:** Fix `date` and `datetime` parsing so passing either `'infinity'` or `float('inf')` 
  (or their negative values) does not cause an infinite loop,
  See security advisory [CVE-2021-29510](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/security/advisories/GHSA-5jqp-qgf6-3pvh)

* Properly represent `Literal` Enums when `use_enum_values` is True, [#1747](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1747) by [@noelevans](https://github.com/noelevans)
* Allows timezone information to be added to strings to be formatted as time objects. Permitted formats are `Z` for UTC 
  or an offset for absolute positive or negative time shifts. Or the timezone data can be omitted, [#1744](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1744) by [@noelevans](https://github.com/noelevans)

  functions), [#1686](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1686) by [@Bobronium](https://github.com/Bobronium)

  (or their negative values) does not cause an infinite loop,
  See security advisory [CVE-2021-29510](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/security/advisories/GHSA-5jqp-qgf6-3pvh)

## v1.6.1 (2020-07-15)

* fix validation and parsing of nested models with `default_factory`, [#1710](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1710) by [@PrettyWood](https://github.com/PrettyWood)

## v1.6 (2020-07-11)

Thank you to pydantic's sponsors: [@matin](https://github.com/matin), [@tiangolo](https://github.com/tiangolo), [@chdsbd](https://github.com/chdsbd), [@jorgecarleitao](https://github.com/jorgecarleitao), and 1 anonymous sponsor for their kind support.

* add port check to `AnyUrl` (can't exceed 65536) ports are 16 insigned bits: `0 <= port <= 2**16-1` src: [rfc793 header format](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc793#section-3.1), [#1654](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1654) by [@flapili](https://github.com/flapili)
* Document default `regex` anchoring semantics, [#1648](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1648) by [@yurikhan](https://github.com/yurikhan)
* Use `chain.from_iterable` in class_validators.py. This is a faster and more idiomatic way of using `itertools.chain`.
  Instead of computing all the items in the iterable and storing them in memory, they are computed one-by-one and never
  stored as a huge list. This can save on both runtime and memory space, [#1642](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1642) by [@cool-RR](https://github.com/cool-RR)

* Make `__modify_schema__` on Enums apply to the enum schema rather than fields that use the enum, [#1581](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1581) by [@therefromhere](https://github.com/therefromhere)
* Fix behavior of `__all__` key when used in conjunction with index keys in advanced include/exclude of fields that are sequences, [#1579](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1579) by [@xspirus](https://github.com/xspirus)

* Move the assignment of `field.validate_always` in `fields.py` so the `always` parameter of validators work on inheritance, [#1545](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1545) by [@dcHHH](https://github.com/dcHHH)
* Added support for UUID instantiation through 16 byte strings such as `b'\x12\x34\x56\x78' * 4`. This was done to support `BINARY(16)` columns in sqlalchemy, [#1541](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1541) by [@shawnwall](https://github.com/shawnwall)
* Add a test assertion that `default_factory` can return a singleton, [#1523](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1523) by [@therefromhere](https://github.com/therefromhere)

* Avoid some side effects of `default_factory` by calling it only once
  if possible and by not setting a default value in the schema, [#1491](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1491) by [@PrettyWood](https://github.com/PrettyWood)
* Added docs about dumping dataclasses to JSON, [#1487](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1487) by [@mikegrima](https://github.com/mikegrima)
* Make `BaseModel.__signature__` class-only, so getting `__signature__` from model instance will raise `AttributeError`, [#1466](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1466) by [@Bobronium](https://github.com/Bobronium)
* include `'format': 'password'` in the schema for secret types, [#1424](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1424) by [@atheuz](https://github.com/atheuz)

* Remove extra `allOf` from schema for fields with `Union` and custom `Field`, [#1209](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1209) by [@mostaphaRoudsari](https://github.com/mostaphaRoudsari)
* Updates OpenAPI schema generation to output all enums as separate models.
  Instead of inlining the enum values in the model schema, models now use a `$ref`
  property to point to the enum definition, [#1173](https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues/1173) by [@calvinwyoung](https://github.com/calvinwyoung)
