I’m pretty new in python so would you be so kind to help me? It seems to be really trivial question.
I need to create a function that validates incoming json data and returns python dict. It should check if there all necessary fields present at json file and also validate data types of that fields. I need to use try-catch. Could you provide some kind of snippets or examples that give me answers?

If you haven't check jsonschema library, it can be useful to validate data. JSON Schema is a way to describe the content of JSON. The library just uses the format to make validations based on the given schema.
I made a simple example from basic usage.
import json
from jsonschema import validate
# Describe what kind of json you expect.
schema = {
"type" : "object",
"properties" : {
"description" : {"type" : "string"},
"status" : {"type" : "boolean"},
"value_a" : {"type" : "number"},
"value_b" : {"type" : "number"},
},
}
# Convert json to python object.
my_json = json.loads('{"description": "Hello world!", "status": true, "value_a": 1, "value_b": 3.14}')
# Validate will raise exception if given json is not
# what is described in schema.
validate(instance=my_json, schema=schema)
# print for debug
print(my_json)
