- Asdf 2.15.1 includes internally a version of jsonschema
4.17.3. This inclusion was done to deal with incompatible
changes in jsonschema 4.18.
- Many libraries that use asdf import jsonschema to allow
catching of ValidationError instances that might be raised
during schema validation. Prior to asdf 2.15 this error type
was not part of the public asdf API. For 2.15 and later users
are expected to import ValidationError from asdf.exceptions
(instead of jsonschema directly).
- To further ease the transition, asdf will, when possible, use
exceptions imported from any installed version of jsonschema.
This means that when the asdf internal jsonschema raises a
ValidationError on a system where jsonschema was separately
installed, the internal jsonschema will attempt to use
ValidationError from the installed version. This should allow
code that catches exceptions imported from jsonschema to
continue to work with no changes. However, asdf cannot
guarantee compatibility with future installed jsonschema
versions and users are encouraged to update their code to
import ValidationError from asdf.exceptions.
- Finally, asdf is temporarily keeping jsonschema as a
dependency as many libraries expected this to be installed by
