xarray-schema

Schema validation for Xarray

installation

This package is in the early stages of development. Install it from source:

pip install git+git://github.com/carbonplan/xarray-schema

usage

Xarray-schema's API is modeled after Pandera. The DataArraySchema and DatasetSchema objects both have .validate() methods.

The basic usage is as follows:

import numpy as np
import xarray as xr
from xarray_schema import DataArraySchema, DatasetSchema

da = xr.DataArray(np.ones(4, dtype='i4'), dims=['x'], name='foo')

schema = DataArraySchema(dtype=np.integer, name='foo', shape=(4, ), dims=['x'])

schema.validate(da)

You can also use it to validate a Dataset like so:

schema_ds = DatasetSchema({'foo': schema})

schema_ds.validate(da.to_dataset())

roadmap

This is a very early prototype of a library. Some key things are missing:

1. Validation of coords and attrs. These are implemented yet.
2. Exceptions: Pandera accumulates schema exceptions and reports them all at once. Currently, we are a eagerly raising SchemaErrors when the are found.
