Pydantic V2 is a ground-up rewrite that offers many new features, performance improvements, and some breaking changes compared to Pydantic V1.

If you're using Pydantic V1 you may want to look at thepydantic V1.10 Documentation or,1.10.X-fixes git branch. Pydantic V2 also ships with the latest version of Pydantic V1 built in so that you can incrementally upgrade your code base and projects:from pydantic import v1 as pydantic_v1.

Install usingpip install -U pydantic orconda install pydantic -c conda-forge.For more installation options to make Pydantic even faster,see theInstall section in the documentation.
