Pydantic: Simplifying Data Validation in Python
Pydantic’s primary way of defining data schemas is through models. A Pydantic model is an object, similar to a Python dataclass, that defines and stores data about an entity with annotated fields. Unlike dataclasses, Pydantic’s focus is centered around automatic data parsing, validation, and serialization.
The best way to understand this is to create your own models, and that’s what you’ll do next.
Working With Pydantic BaseModels
Suppose you’re building an application used by a human resources department to manage employee information, and you need a way to verify that new employee information is in the correct form. For example, each employee should have an ID, name, email, date of birth, salary, department, and benefits selection. This
