What is jsonschema?

The jsonschema npm package is a JSON Schema validator that can validate JavaScript objects using JSON Schemas. It is commonly used to ensure that data conforms to a predefined schema, and it can be used to validate data at runtime, as part of a testing suite, or during development to ensure data integrity.

What are jsonschema's main functionalities?

Validation

This feature allows you to validate a JavaScript object against a JSON Schema. The code sample creates a new Validator instance, defines a schema with required properties, and validates a sample data object against this schema. It outputs an empty array if the data is valid or a list of errors if it is invalid.

{"const Validator = require('jsonschema').Validator; const v = new Validator(); const schema = { 'type': 'object', 'properties': { 'name': { 'type': 'string' }, 'age': { 'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 0 } }, 'required': ['name', 'age'] }; const sampleData = { 'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 25 }; const validation = v.validate(sampleData, schema); console.log(validation.errors); // [] if valid, or list of errors if invalid."}

Custom Formats

This feature allows you to define custom formats for validation. The code sample shows how to add a custom format to the Validator instance and then use it in a schema to validate data.

{"const Validator = require('jsonschema').Validator; const v = new Validator(); v.customFormats.myFormat = function(input) { return input === 'specialValue'; }; const schema = { 'type': 'string', 'format': 'myFormat' }; const sampleData = 'specialValue'; const validation = v.validate(sampleData, schema); console.log(validation.valid); // true if valid, or false if invalid."}

Asynchronous Validation

This feature allows for asynchronous validation, which can be useful when dealing with complex validations that may require I/O operations. The code sample demonstrates how to perform validation asynchronously using a callback function.

{"const Validator = require('jsonschema').Validator; const v = new Validator(); const schema = { 'type': 'object', 'properties': { 'name': { 'type': 'string' }, 'age': { 'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 0 } }, 'required': ['name', 'age'] }; const sampleData = { 'name': 'John Doe', 'age': 25 }; v.validate(sampleData, schema, function(errors, valid) { console.log(valid); // true if valid, or false if invalid });"}
