JSON Resume Validator

Python tool to validate JSON resumes to ensure that they are according to the defined schema

For more information on JSON resumes, please see the official JSON Resume initiative

Installing

$ pip install jsonresume-validator

Example apps

• A sample Flask web app to validate an uploaded JSON resume and returning validation issues on submission

Example codes

1. Using Resume class

import json

from jsonresume import Resume
from jsonresume.exceptions import InvalidResumeError

MY_RESUME_JSON_FILEPATH = ""

with open(MY_RESUME_JSON_FILEPATH, 'r') as json_file:
	data = json.load(json_file)
	r = Resume(data)
	if r.is_valid():
		print("Yay! We're good")
	else:
		print("Houston, we have a problem")

	# if we prefer catching exceptions...
	try:
		r.validate()
	except InvalidResumeError:
		# deal with invalid resume
		pass

2. Using Schemas (colander)

import json
import logging

import colander

from jsonresume.schema.resume import Resume as ResumeSchema

RESUME_JSON_FILEPATH = "put your resume.json file path here"

try:
	with open(RESUME_JSON_FILEPATH, 'r') as fil:
		resume_json = json.load(fil)
except (IOError, ValueError):
	logging.exception("json file could not be loaded. Perhaps file path [{}] is incorrect".format(RESUME_JSON_FILEPATH))
else:
	try:
		resume = ResumeSchema().deserialize(resume_json)
	except colander.Invalid:
		logging.exception("resume has invalid JSON format")
	else:
		logging.info("Resume structure: {}".format(resume))
