How to Choose the Right Data Validation Library for Python?

Among the data validation tools available for Python, the three most important ones are Pydantic, Marshmallow, and Cerberus. Choose Pydantic for type hint-based validation in modern Python applications, especially when working with FastAPI or when leveraging Python 3.6+ type hints is a priority. Choose Marshmallow if you need a library that's ORM/ODM/framework-agnostic and require a high degree of control over serialization and validation logic. Opt for Cerberus when you're looking for a schema-less or highly flexible validation approach, particularly useful when dealing with dynamic or evolving data structures.
