json-schema-validator

json-schema-validator
=====================


This package uses the tv4 JSON Schema validator, and the
formats provided by the tv4-formats. It loads all the referenced
JSON schemas over the internet to bootstrap tv4.

Usage

Validator.simple('http://json-schema.org/geo', function (error, v) {
assert.ifError(error);

assert(v.validate(
{latitude: 53.0, longitude: 43.0},
'http://json-schema.org/geo'
).valid);

done();
});

$3

echo '{"json": "to validate"}' | json-validate http://some.type.id/

API

Constructor:

v = new Validator(schemaUris);

schemaUris: array of schema Uris to load (can be a string in the case of single URI)

--

v.fetchSchemas(schemaLoader, callback)

Load schemas over the net with schemaLoader(url, callback) and add to tv4 validator. All URI-s to
be loaded: given in constructor and referenced by "$ref" clause in each loaded schema. Circular
references get resolved.

--

v.validate(json, typeId)

Do validation of json against schema defined by typeId

Possible type Ids are:

* http://json-schema.org/geo
* http://some.site.somewhere/entry-schema#/definitions/diskUUID

validate() returns the tv4 validation
result object. It will throw
an Error if the schema for the passed typeId has not been loaded (fetched).

--

Validator.simple(uris, callback)

Just a shortcut for getting validator bootstrapped using request as schema loader
