Generate tables dynamically from a JSON Schema and insert data

JSON Schema ➣ Database

We use JSON Schema pretty extensively at Better to store complex data. Unfortunately the data is hard to query from SQL. To facilitate querying, this library converts objects stored in a JSON schema into flat Postgres tables with proper types.

For instance, Better uses it to generate 50+ tables automatically, with millions of rows, from a very complex JSON schema that is 7000+ lines long.

Postgres and Redshift are supported, although the latter is somewhat experimental still.

Installation

The easiest way to install is pip install jsonschema2db
