Declarative data descriptions and validations with plumatic/schema

Clojure is dynamically typed language and often provides productivity when you develop alone or in a small team. However, developments in larger teams sometimes require knowledge about data between members. prismatic/schema provides the solution for the aforementioned problems.

In this recipe, we will learn how to add descriptive expressions and validations in Clojure. We will use prismatic/schema to define schemas for various data types and validate them with schemas. prismatic/schema can define functions that define schemas for input parameters and a return. We will then learn how to coerce one data type to another.

Finally, we will learn other solutions. We will introduce core/typed ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
