Falcon JSON

Small set of JSON utilities for Python Falcon framework.

Falcon doesn't currently provide JSON deserialization and most of the time you need one.

Example code:

import falcon

schema = {
    'type': 'object',
    'required': ['first_name', 'last_name'],
    'properties': {
        'first_name': {
            'type' : 'string',
        },
        'last_name': {
            'type' : 'string',
        },
    },
}


class People(object):

    @falcon.before(hooks.process_json_request)
    @falcon.before(hooks.validate_json_schema(schema))
    def on_post(self, request, response):
        # Validated JSON request body goes here:
        data = resp.context['json']
