	description => '...',
	spec => {
		name => {
			title => '...',
			description => '...'

use JSON::Schema;
my $validator = JSON::Schema->new($schema);
my $result = $validator->validate($data);

...

my $schema = JSON::Schema::Generate->new(
	no_id => 1

DESCRIPTION

JSON::Schema::Generate is a tool allowing you to derive JSON Schemas from a set of data.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Instantiate a new JSON::Schema::Generate Object

my $schema = JSON::Schema->new(
	...
);

It accepts the following parameters:

id

The root $id of the schema. default: http://example.com/root.json

title

The root title of the schema. default: The Root Schema

description

The root description of the schema. default: The root schema is the schema that comprises the entire JSON document.

schema

The root schema version. default: 'http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#'

spec

A mapping hash reference that represent a key inside of the passed data and a value that contains additional metadata to be added to the schema. default: {}

merge_examples

Merge all learn data examples into a single example. default: false

none_required

Do not analyse required keys in properties. default: false.

no_id

Do not add $id(s) to properties and items. default: false.

learn

Accepts a JSON string, Hashref or ArrayRef that it will traverse to build a valid JSON schema. Learn can be chained allowing you to build a schema from multiple data sources.

$schema->learn($data1)->learn($data2)->learn($data3);

generate

Compiles the learned data and generates the final JSON schema in JSON format.

$schema->generate();

Optionally you can pass a boolean (true value) which will return the schema as a perl struct.

$schema->generate(1)
