Usage
First import & initialize all required classes.
import com.clivern.kangaroo.util.FileReader;
import com.clivern.kangaroo.SchemaFactory;
import com.clivern.kangaroo.Validator;
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader();
SchemaFactory schemaFactory = new SchemaFactory();
Validator validator = new Validator();
Then validate the JSON string against the JSON Schema.
import com.clivern.kangaroo.SchemaDraft3;
// For SchemaDraft3
SchemaDraft3 schemaDraft3 = schemaFactory.unserialize(
fileReader.readFileAsString("path/to/endpoint/schema03_definition.json"),
SchemaDraft3.class
);
validator.validate(schemaDraft3, "{...JSON_DATA_HERE...}"); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.hasErrors(); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.getErrors(); // returns ArrayList<String>
import com.clivern.kangaroo.SchemaDraft4;
// For SchemaDraft4
SchemaDraft4 schemaDraft4 = schemaFactory.unserialize(
fileReader.readFileAsString("path/to/endpoint/schema04_definition.json"),
SchemaDraft4.class
);
validator.validate(schemaDraft4, "{...JSON_DATA_HERE...}"); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.hasErrors(); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.getErrors(); // returns ArrayList<String>
import com.clivern.kangaroo.SchemaDraft6;
// For SchemaDraft6
SchemaDraft6 schemaDraft6 = schemaFactory.unserialize(
fileReader.readFileAsString("path/to/endpoint/schema06_definition.json"),
SchemaDraft6.class
);
validator.validate(schemaDraft6, "{...JSON_DATA_HERE...}"); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.hasErrors(); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.getErrors(); // returns ArrayList<String>
import com.clivern.kangaroo.SchemaDraft7;
// For SchemaDraft7
SchemaDraft7 schemaDraft7 = schemaFactory.unserialize(
fileReader.readFileAsString("path/to/endpoint/schema07_definition.json"),
SchemaDraft7.class
);
validator.validate(schemaDraft7, "{...JSON_DATA_HERE...}"); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.hasErrors(); // returns Boolean (true || false)
validator.getErrors(); // returns ArrayList<String>
