JSON validation utility

Project description

Part of the Using JSON Schema project.

jsonvalidate is a command line and library utility allowing JSON content to be validated using JSON Schema content from local or remote sources, and use of custom schema storage and URI access.

The utility uses the jsonschema library for the schema validation processing (GitHub repo).

For command line/script use, a console message is displayed and the process exits with 0 for success, 1 for failure.

Command Line / Script Use

To run the validation (command line or script), use the validate command with a file name (path optional). For example, to check the file example.json against the schema example_schema.json, use,

validate example.json example_schema.json

Library Function Use

validate (dataFile, schemaFile, refFiles, jsdbFile, callback)

Arguments:
dataFile String File name of JSON data file (path optional)
schemaFile String File name of JSON Schema file (path optional)
refFiles String[] Array of file names for $ref files (path optional)
jsdbFile String File name for JSDB file (path optional)

Returns:
code, data, message

- code is the validation result
- data is the validated JSON content from dataFile
- message is text message associated with the code

For example,

from jsonvalidate import validate, VALID

dataFile = "example.json"
schemaFile = "example_schema.json"
refFiles = ["ref1_schema.json", "ref2_schema.json"]
jsdbFile = None
