what is the best way to validate JSON data in Django/python.
Is it best to create a bunch of classes like the Django FormMixin classes that can validate the data/ parameters being passed in?
What’s the best DRY way of doing this? Are there existing apps that I can leverage?
I’d like to take in JSON data and perform some actions/ updates to my model instances as a result. The data I’m taking in is not user generated – that is they are id’s and flags (no text) so I don’t want to use Forms.
I just instantiate a model object from the json data and call full_clean() on the model to validate: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.full_clean
