It is not so obvious how to export the result of get_schema() so it is a schema

[mulkieran]

Running the simple introductory example in the docs gets me this:

Directory.get_schema(ordered=True)
OrderedDict([('$schema', 'http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#'), ('definitions', {'__main__.File': OrderedDict([('type', 'object'), ('properties', OrderedDict([('name', OrderedDict([('type', 'string')])), ('content', OrderedDict([('type', 'string')]))])), ('required', ['name', 'content']), ('additionalProperties', False)]), '__main__.Directory': OrderedDict([('type', 'object'), ('properties', OrderedDict([('name', OrderedDict([('type', 'string')])), ('content', OrderedDict([('type', 'array'), ('items', OrderedDict([('oneOf', [{'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.File'}, {'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.Directory'}])]))]))])), ('required', ['name', 'content']), ('additionalProperties', False)])}), ('$ref', '#/definitions/__main__.Directory')])

This is all improved with ordered is False.

>>> Directory.get_schema(ordered=False)
{'definitions': {'__main__.File': {'additionalProperties': False, 'required': ['name', 'content'], 'type': 'object', 'properties': {'content': {'type': 'string'}, 'name': {'type': 'string'}}}, '__main__.Directory': {'additionalProperties': False, 'required': ['name', 'content'], 'type': 'object', 'properties': {'content': {'items': {'oneOf': [{'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.File'}, {'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.Directory'}]}, 'type': 'array'}, 'name': {'type': 'string'}}}}, '$schema': 'http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#', '$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.Directory'}

Pretty print helps with unordered:

>>> pprint.pprint(Directory.get_schema(ordered=False))
{'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.Directory',
 '$schema': 'http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#',
 'definitions': {'__main__.Directory': {'additionalProperties': False,
                                        'properties': {'content': {'items': {'oneOf': [{'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.File'},
                                                                                       {'$ref': '#/definitions/__main__.Directory'}]},
                                                                   'type': 'array'},
                                                       'name': {'type': 'string'}},
                                        'required': ['name', 'content'],
                                        'type': 'object'},
                 '__main__.File': {'additionalProperties': False,
                                   'properties': {'content': {'type': 'string'},
                                                  'name': {'type': 'string'}},
                                   'required': ['name', 'content'],
                                   'type': 'object'}}}

But, it would be nice to be able to export the result to a file simply, or if docs had a recommended best way.

jsonshema is json

>>> shema

Thanks.

It is obvious in retrospect.
