Features:
- Backwards-incompatible: When pass_original=True is passed to one of the decorators and a collection is being (de)serialized, the original_data argument will be a single object unless pass_many=True is also passed to the decorator (:issue:`315`, :issue:`743`). Thanks :user:`stj` for the PR.
- Backwards-incompatible: Don't recursively check nested required fields when the Nested field's key is missing (:issue:`319`). This reverts :issue:`235`. Thanks :user:`chekunkov` reporting and thanks :user:`lafrech` for the PR.

Features:
- Errored fields will not appear in (de)serialized output dictionaries (:issue:`153`, :issue:`202`).
- Instantiate
OPTIONS_CLASS
inSchemaMeta
. This makesSchema.opts
available in metaclass methods. It also causes validation to occur earlier (uponSchema
class declaration rather than instantiation). - Add
SchemaMeta.get_declared_fields
class method to support adding additional declared fields.
Deprecation/Removals:
- Remove
allow_null
parameter offields.Nested

options to disable this behavior. - Backwards-incompatible: By default, fields will raise a ValidationError if the input is
None
. Theallow_none
parameter can override this behavior. - Backwards-incompatible: A
Field's
default
parameter is only used if explicitly set and the field's value is missing in the input to Schema.dump. If not set, the key will not be present in the serialized output for missing values . This is the behavior for all fields.fields.Str
no longer defaults to''
,fields.Int
no longer defaults to0
, etc. (:issue:`199`). Thanks :user:`jmcarp` for the feedback. - In
strict
mode, aValidationError
is raised. Error messages are accessed via theValidationError's
messages
attribute (:issue:`128`). - Add
allow_none
parameter tofields.Field
. IfFalse
(the default), validation fails when the field's value isNone
(:issue:`76`, :issue:`111`). Ifallow_none
isTrue
,None
is considered valid and will deserialize toNone
. - Schema-level validators can store error messages for multiple fields (:issue:`118`). Thanks :user:`ksesong` for the suggestion.
- Add
pre_load
,post_load
,pre_dump
, andpost_dump
Schema method decorators for defining pre- and post- processing routines (:issue:`153`, :issue:`179`). Thanks :user:`davidism`, :user:`taion`, and :user:`jmcarp` for the suggestions and feedback. Thanks :user:`taion` for the implementation. - Error message for

raw_data
argument which contains raw input data, incl. data not specified in the schema (:issue:`127`). Thanks :user:`ryanlowe0`. - Add
validate.OneOf
(:issue:`135`) andvalidate.ContainsOnly
(:issue:`149`) validators. Thanks :user:`philtay`. - Error messages for validators can be interpolated with {input} and other values (depending on the validator).
fields.TimeDelta
always serializes to an integer value in order to avoid rounding errors (:issue:`105`). Thanks :user:`philtay`.- Add
include
class Meta option to support field names which are Python keywords (:issue:`139`). Thanks :user:`nickretallack` for the suggestion. exclude
parameter is respected when used together withonly
parameter (:issue:`165`). Thanks :user:`lustdante` for the catch and patch.fields.List
works as expected with generators and sets (:issue:`185`). Thanks :user:`sergey-aganezov-jr`.

instead (:issue:`184`).- Remove
ForcedError
. - Remove support for generator functions that yield validators (:issue:`74`). Plain generators of validators are still supported.
- The
Select/Enum
field is deprecated in favor of using validate.OneOf validator (:issue:`135`). - Remove legacy, pre-1.0 API (
Schema.data
andSchema.errors
properties) (:issue:`73`). - Remove
null
value.
Other changes:
Marshaller
,Unmarshaller
were moved tomarshmallow.marshalling
. These should be considered private API (:issue:`129`).- Make
allow_null=True
the default forNested
fields. This will makeNone
serialize toNone
rather than a dictionary with empty values (:issue:`132`). Thanks :user:`nickrellack` for the suggestion.
Bug fixes:
- Fix validation error message for
fields.Decimal
. - Allow error message for
fields.Boolean
to be customized with theerror
parameter (like other fields).
Bug fixes:
- Fix validation of invalid types passed to a
Nested
field whenmany=True
(:issue:`188`). Thanks :user:`juanrossi` for reporting.
Support:
- Fix pep8 dev dependency for flake8. Thanks :user:`taion`.
Bug fixes:
- Fix behavior of
as_string
onfields.Integer
(:issue:`173`). Thanks :user:`taion` for the catch and patch.
Other changes:
- Remove dead code from
fields.Field
. Thanks :user:`taion`.
Support:
- Correction to
_postprocess
method in docs. Thanks again :user:`taion`.
Bug fixes:
- Fix inheritance of
ordered
class Meta option (:issue:`162`). Thanks :user:`stephenfin` for reporting.
Bug fixes:
- Fix behavior of
skip_missing
andaccessor
options whenmany=True
(:issue:`137`). Thanks :user:`3rdcycle`. - Fix bug that could cause an
AttributeError
when nesting schemas with schema-level validators (:issue:`144`). Thanks :user:`vovanbo` for reporting.
Bug fixes:
- A
Schema's
error_handler
--if defined--will execute ifSchema.validate
returns validation errors (:issue:`121`). - Deserializing None returns None rather than raising an
AttributeError
(:issue:`123`). Thanks :user:`RealSalmon` for the catch and patch.
Features:
- Add
QuerySelect
andQuerySelectList
fields (:issue:`84`). - Convert validators in
marshmallow.validate
into class-based callables to make them easier to use when declaring fields (:issue:`85`). - Add
Decimal
field which is safe to use when dealing with precise numbers (:issue:`86`).
Thanks :user:`philtay` for these contributions.
Bug fixes:
Date
fields correctly deserializes to adatetime.date
object whenpython-dateutil
is not installed (:issue:`79`). Thanks :user:`malexer` for the catch and patch.- Fix bug that raised an
AttributeError
when using a class-based validator. - Fix
as_string
behavior of Number fields when serializing to default value. - Deserializing
None
or the empty string with either aDateTime
,Date
,Time
orTimeDelta
results in the correct unmarshalling errors (:issue:`96`). Thanks :user:`svenstaro` for reporting and helping with this. - Fix error handling when deserializing invalid UUIDs (:issue:`106`). Thanks :user:`vesauimonen` for the catch and patch.
Schema.loads
correctly defaults to use the value ofself.many
rather than defaulting toFalse
(:issue:`108`). Thanks :user:`davidism` for the catch and patch.- Validators, data handlers, and preprocessors are no longer shared between schema subclasses (:issue:`88`). Thanks :user:`amikholap` for reporting.
- Fix error handling when passing a
dict
orlist
to aValidationError
(:issue:`110`). Thanks :user:`ksesong` for reporting.
Deprecation:
- The validator functions in the
validate
module are deprecated in favor of the class-based validators (:issue:`85`). - The
Arbitrary
,Price
, andFixed
fields are deprecated in favor of theDecimal
field (:issue:`86`).
Support:
- Update docs theme.
- Update contributing docs (:issue:`77`).
- Fix namespacing example in "Extending Schema" docs. Thanks :user:`Ch00k`.
- Exclude virtualenv directories from syntax checking (:issue:`99`). Thanks :user:`svenstaro`.
Features:
- Add
Schema.validate
method which validates input data against a schema. Similar toSchema.load
, but does not callmake_object
and only returns the errors dictionary. - Add several validation functions to the
validate
module. Thanks :user:`philtay`. - Store field name and instance on exceptions raised in
strict
mode.
Bug fixes:
- Fix serializing dictionaries when field names are methods of
dict
(e.g."items"
). Thanks :user:`rozenm` for reporting. - If a Nested field is passed
many=True
,None
serializes to an empty list. Thanks :user:`nickretallack` for reporting. - Fix behavior of
many
argument passed todump
andload
. Thanks :user:`svenstaro` for reporting and helping with this. - Fix
skip_missing
behavior forString
andList
fields. Thanks :user:`malexer` for reporting. - Fix compatibility with python-dateutil 2.3.
- More consistent error messages across DateTime, TimeDelta, Date, and Time fields.
Support:
- Update Flask and Peewee examples.
Hotfix release.
- Ensure that errors dictionary is correctly cleared on each call to Schema.dump and Schema.load.
Adds new features, speed improvements, better error handling, and updated documentation.
- Add
skip_missing
class Meta
option. - A field's
default
may be a callable. - Allow accessor function to be configured via the
Schema.accessor
decorator or the__accessor__
class member. URL
andEmail
fields are validated upon serialization.dump
andload
can receive themany
argument.- Move a number of utility functions from fields.py to utils.py.
- More useful
repr
forField
classes. - If a field's default is
fields.missing
and its serialized value isNone
, it will not be included in the final serialized result. - Schema.dumps no longer coerces its result to a binary string on Python 3.
- Backwards-incompatible: Schema output is no longer an
OrderedDict
by default. If you want ordered field output, you must explicitly set theordered
option toTrue
. - Backwards-incompatible: error parameter of the Field constructor is deprecated. Raise a ValidationError instead.
- Expanded test coverage.
- Updated docs.
Major reworking and simplification of the public API, centered around support for deserialization, improved validation, and a less stateful Schema
class.
- Rename
Serializer
toSchema
. - Support for deserialization.
- Use the
Schema.dump
andSchema.load
methods for serializing and deserializing, respectively. - Backwards-incompatible: Remove
Serializer.json
andSerializer.to_json
. UseSchema.dumps
instead. - Reworked fields interface.
- Backwards-incompatible:
Field
classes implement_serialize
and_deserialize
methods.serialize
anddeserialize
comprise the public API for aField
.Field.format
andField.output
have been removed. - Add
exceptions.ForcedError
which allows errors to be raised during serialization (instead of storing errors in theerrors
dict). - Backwards-incompatible:
DateTime
field serializes to ISO8601 format by default (instead of RFC822). - Backwards-incompatible: Remove
Serializer.factory
method. It is no longer necessary with thedump
method. - Backwards-incompatible: Allow nesting a serializer within itself recursively. Use
exclude
oronly
to prevent infinite recursion. - Backwards-incompatible: Multiple errors can be stored for a single field. The errors dictionary returned by
load
anddump
have lists of error messages keyed by field name. - Remove
validated
decorator. Validation occurs withinField
methods. Function
field raises aValueError
if an uncallable object is passed to its constructor.Nested
fields inherit context from their parent.- Add
Schema.preprocessor
andSchema.validator
decorators for registering preprocessing and schema-level validation functions respectively. - Custom error messages can be specified by raising a
ValidationError
within a validation function. - Extra keyword arguments passed to a Field are stored as metadata.
- Fix ordering of field output.
- Fix behavior of the
required
parameter onNested
fields. - Fix serializing keyed tuple types (e.g.
namedtuple
) withclass Meta
options. - Fix default value for
Fixed
andPrice
fields. - Fix serialization of binary strings.
Schemas
can inherit fields from non-Schema
base classes (e.g. mixins). Also, fields are inherited according to the MRO (rather than recursing over base classes). Thanks :user:`jmcarp`.- Add
Str
,Bool
, andInt
field class aliases.
- Add
Serializer.error_handler
decorator that registers a custom error handler. - Add
Serializer.data_handler
decorator that registers data post-processing callbacks. - Backwards-incompatible:
process_data
method is deprecated. Use thedata_handler
decorator instead. - Fix bug that raised error when passing
extra
data together withmany=True
. Thanks :user:`buttsicles` for reporting. - If
required=True
validation is violated for a givenField
, it will raise an error message that is different from the message specified by theerror
argument. Thanks :user:`asteinlein`. - More generic error message raised when required field is missing.
validated
decorator should only wrap aField
class'soutput
method.
- Fix bug in serializing keyed tuple types, e.g.
namedtuple
andKeyedTuple
. - Nested field can load a serializer by its class name as a string. This makes it easier to implement 2-way nesting.
- Make Serializer.data override-able.
- Add
Serializer.factory
for creating a factory function that returns a Serializer instance. MarshallingError
stores its underlying exception as an instance variable. This is useful for inspecting errors.fields.Select
is aliased tofields.Enum
.- Add
fields.__all__
andmarshmallow.__all__
so that the modules can be more easily extended. - Expose
Serializer.OPTIONS_CLASS
as a class variable so that options defaults can be overridden. - Add
Serializer.process_data
hook that allows subclasses to manipulate the final output data.
- Add
json_module
class Meta option. - Add
required
option to fields . Thanks :user:`DeaconDesperado`. - Tested on Python 3.4 and PyPy.
- Fix
Integer
field default. It is now0
instead of0.0
. Thanks :user:`kalasjocke`. - Add
context
param toSerializer
. Allows accessing arbitrary objects inFunction
andMethod
fields. Function
andMethod
fields raiseMarshallingError
if their argument is uncallable.
- Enable custom field validation via the
validate
parameter. - Add
utils.from_rfc
for parsing RFC datestring to Python datetime object.
- Avoid unnecessary attribute access in
utils.to_marshallable_type
for improved performance. - Fix RFC822 formatting for localized datetimes.
- Can customize validation error messages by passing the
error
parameter to a field. - Backwards-incompatible: Rename
fields.NumberField
->fields.Number
. - Add
fields.Select
. Thanks :user:`ecarreras`. - Support nesting a Serializer within itself by passing
"self"
intofields.Nested
(only up to depth=1). - Backwards-incompatible: No implicit serializing of collections. Must set
many=True
if serializing to a list. This ensures that marshmallow handles singular objects correctly, even if they are iterable. - If Nested field
only
parameter is a field name, only return a single value for the nested object (instead of a dict) or a flat list of values. - Improved performance and stability.
- An object's
__marshallable__
method, if defined, takes precedence over__getitem__
. - Generator expressions can be passed to a serializer.
- Better support for serializing list-like collections (e.g. ORM querysets).
- Other minor bugfixes.
- Add
additional
class Meta option. - Add
dateformat
class Meta option. - Support for serializing UUID, date, time, and timedelta objects.
- Remove
Serializer.to_data
method. Just useSerialize.data
property. - String field defaults to empty string instead of
None
. - Backwards-incompatible:
isoformat
andrfcformat
functions moved to utils.py. - Backwards-incompatible: Validation functions moved to validate.py.
- Backwards-incompatible: Remove types.py.
- Reorder parameters to
DateTime
field (first parameter is dateformat). - Ensure that
to_json
returns bytestrings. - Fix bug with including an object property in
fields
Meta option. - Fix bug with passing
None
to a serializer.
- Fix bug with serializing dictionaries.
- Fix error raised when serializing empty list.
- Add
only
andexclude
parameters to Serializer constructor. - Add
strict
parameter and option: causes Serializer to raise an error if invalid data are passed in, rather than storing errors. - Updated Flask + SQLA example in docs.
- Declaring Serializers just got easier. The class Meta paradigm allows you to specify fields more concisely. Can specify
fields
andexclude
options. - Allow date formats to be changed by passing
format
parameter toDateTime
field constructor. Can either be"rfc"
(default),"iso"
, or a date format string. - More useful error message when declaring fields as classes (instead of an instance, which is the correct usage).
- Rename MarshallingException -> MarshallingError.
- Rename marshmallow.core -> marshmallow.serializer.
- Allow prefixing field names.
- Fix storing errors on Nested Serializers.
- Python 2.6 support.
- Field-level validation.
- Add
fields.Method
. - Add
fields.Function
. - Allow binding of extra data to a serialized object by passing the
extra
param when initializing aSerializer
. - Add
relative
paramater tofields.Url
that allows for relative URLs.
- First release.
