jsonschema extension

The jsonschema extension implements the JSON Schema Draft 7 specification for validating input JSON. (since 0.160.0)

Compliance level

The jsoncons implementation passes all draft 7 required tests.

In addition, the validator understands the following optional format types:

Draft 7
date ✓
time ✓
date-time ✓
email ✓
hostname ✓
ipv4 ✓
ipv6 ✓
regex ✓

Any other format type is ignored.

Classes

json_validator JSON Schema validator.

Functions

make_schema Loads a JSON Schema and returns a shared pointer to a json_schema.

Default values

The JSON Schema Specification includes the "default" keyword
for specifying a default value, but doesn't prescribe how implementations should use it during validation. Some implementations ignore the default keyword, others support updating the input JSON to fill in a default value for a missing key/value pair. This implementation returns a JSONPatch document that may be further applied to the input JSON to add the missing key/value pairs.

Examples

The example schemas are from JSON Schema Miscellaneous Examples, the JSON Schema Test Suite, and user contributions.

Using a URIResolver to resolve references to schemas defined in external files

In this example, the main schema defines a reference using the $ref property to a second schema, defined in an external file name.json,

{
    "definitions": {
        "orNull": {
            "anyOf": [
                {
                    "type": "null"
                },
                {
                    "$ref": "#"
                }
            ]
        }
    },
    "type": "string"
}

jsoncons needs to know how to turn a URI reference to name.json into a JSON Schema document, and for that it needs you to provide a URIResolver.

#include <jsoncons/json.hpp>
#include <jsoncons_ext/jsonschema/jsonschema.hpp>
#include <fstream>

// for brevity
using jsoncons::json;
namespace jsonschema = jsoncons::jsonschema; 

json resolver(const jsoncons::uri& uri)
{
    std::cout << "uri: " << uri.string() << ", path: " << uri.path() << "\n\n";

    std::string pathname = /* path_to_directory */;
    pathname += std::string(uri.path());

    std::fstream is(pathname.c_str());
    if (!is)
        throw jsonschema::schema_error("Could not open " + std::string(uri.base()) + " for schema loading\n");

    return json::parse(is);        
}

int main()
{ 
    // JSON Schema
    json schema = json::parse(R"(
{
    "$id": "http://localhost:1234/object",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "name": {"$ref": "name.json#/definitions/orNull"}
    }
}
    )");

    // Data
    json data = json::parse(R"(
{
    "name": {
        "name": null
    }
}
    )");

    try
    {
       // Throws schema_error if JSON Schema loading fails
       auto sch = jsonschema::make_schema(schema, resolver);

       std::size_t error_count = 0;
       auto reporter = [&error_count](const jsonschema::validation_output& o)
       {
           ++error_count;
            std::cout << o.instance_location() << ": " << o.message() << "\n";
       };

       jsonschema::json_validator<json> validator(sch);

       // Will call reporter for each schema violation
       validator.validate(data, reporter);

       std::cout << "\nError count: " << error_count << "\n\n";
    }
    catch (const std::exception& e)
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << '\n';
    }
}

Output:
