Instance Attribute Details

#max_depth ⇒ Integer

The maximum stack depth of references to follow when running #validate.

If this maximum depth is exceeded, such as if a schema passed to #validate is defined cyclically, then #validate throws a MaxDepthExceededError.

By default, no maximum depth is enforced. The validator may overflow the stack if a schema is defined cyclically.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    the maximum depth of references to follow when validating

  @max_depth
end

#max_errors ⇒ Integer

The maximum number of errors to return when running #validate.

If this value is set to a number, then it’s guaranteed that #validate will return an array of size no greater than the value of this attribute.

By default, no maximum errors is enforced. All validation errors are returned.

Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    the maximum errors to return when validating

Instance Method Details

#validate(schema, instance) ⇒ Array

Validate a JDDF schema against a JSON instance.

The precise rules of validation for this method are defined formally by the JDDF specification, and this method follows those rules exactly, assuming that instance is the result of calling JSON#parse using the standard library’s JSON module.

Parameters:

  • schema (Schema) —

    the schema to validate against

  • instance (Object) —

    the input (“instance”) to validate

Returns:
