System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Enforce typed schema contracts by preferring classes (especially pydantic.BaseModel) over freeform dicts to prevent runtime errors and improve validation, testing, and API reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prefer explicit typed classes for API contracts, data transfer, and function interfaces.
  • Use pydantic.BaseModel for input/output validation and SQLAlchemy models for persistence.
  • Refactor legacy dict-based contracts into typed models to improve maintainability and scalability.

Quick Start

Refactor a simple payload from a dict to a pydantic model and update API handlers to accept typed inputs.
