[ckan-dev] validation library and deform.

[james@3aims.com]

I strongly prefer your version so will have to take a look at how it might work with Deform. From what I remember though, we agreed on hand generated forms, so I'm not sure this will be an issue anyway.

Cheers, 

James

Hello

A while ago Colander was decided by Seb to use as a validation/conversion
library.

I have been doing the dictization work and in doing so came up with my own
library to do this, called navl.  https://bitbucket.org/kindly/navl/src

Obviously I prefer my own library, it is more flexible and easier to write
validators and schemas for it.

HOWEVER, colander is probably workable with. I am not 100% sure it will do
*all* we will need and some workarounds may be needed.  I also know that I
will find it frustrating to use.

The main advantage of colander is that it Deform (a form library) needs
Colander schemas for it to work.   Deform may save a lot of time in creating
forms.

So the question is.

Will will be using deform??

Seb said this was a minor point when looking for a
validation/conversion library,  however it may be very useful for us to be
able to use it.

I am really not sure about this one.

David
