NAME

JSON::Schema::AsType - generates Type::Tiny types out of JSON schemas

VERSION

version 0.4.3

SYNOPSIS

use JSON::Schema::AsType;

my $schema = JSON::Schema::AsType->new( schema => {
        properties => {
            foo => { type => 'integer' },
            bar => { type => 'object' },
        },
});

print 'valid' if $schema->check({ foo => 1, bar => { two => 2 } }); # prints 'valid'

print $schema->validate_explain({ foo => 'potato', bar => { two => 2 } });

DESCRIPTION

This module takes in a JSON Schema (http://json-schema.org/) and turns it into a Type::Tiny type.

Strings and Numbers

By default, JSON::Schema::AsType follows the JSON schema specs and distinguish between strings and numbers.

value    String?  Number?
  "a"      yes      no 
   1       no       yes
  "1"      yes      no

If you want the usual Perl behavior and considers the JSON schema type String to be a superset of Number. That is:

value    String?  Number?
  "a"      yes      no 
   1       yes      yes
  "1"      yes      yes

Then you can set the object's attribute strict_string to 0. Setting the global variable $JSON::Schema::AsType::strict_string to 0 will work too, but that's deprecated and will eventually go away.

METHODS

new( %args )

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

The class constructor. Accepts the following arguments.

schema => \%schema

The JSON schema to compile, as a hashref.

If not given, will be retrieved from uri.

An error will be thrown is neither schema nor uri is given.

uri => $uri

Optional uri associated with the schema.

If provided, the schema will also be added to a schema cache. There is currently no way to prevent this. If this is an issue for you, you can manipulate the cache by accessing %JSON::Schema::AsType::EXTERNAL_SCHEMAS directly.

draft_version => $version

The version of the JSON-Schema specification to use. Accepts 3 or 4, defaults to '4'.

type

Returns the compiled Type::Tiny type.

check( $struct )

Returns true if $struct is valid as per the schema.

validate( $struct )

Returns a short explanation if $struct didn't validate, nothing otherwise.

validate_explain( $struct )

Returns a log explanation if $struct didn't validate, nothing otherwise.

validate_schema

Like validate, but validates the schema itself against its specification.

print $schema->validate_schema;

# equivalent to

print $schema->specification_schema->validate($schema);

validate_explain_schema

Like validate_explain, but validates the schema itself against its specification.

draft_version

Returns the draft version used by the object.

spec

Returns the JSON::Schema::AsType object associated with the specs of this object's schema.

I.e., if the current object is a draft4 schema, spec will return the schema definining draft4.

schema

Returns the JSON schema, as a hashref.

parent_schema

Returns the JSON::Schema::AsType object for the parent schema, or undef is the current schema is the top-level one.

fetch( $url )

Fetches the schema at the given $url. If already present, it will use the schema in the cache. If not, the newly fetched schema will be added to the cache.

uri

Returns the uri associated with the schema, if any.

specification

Returns the JSON Schema specification used by the object.

specification_schema

Returns the JSON::Schema::AsType object representing the schema of the current object's specification.

root_schema

Returns the top-level schema including this schema.

is_root_schema

Returns true if this schema is a top-level schema.

resolve_reference( $ref )

my $sub_schema = $schema->resolve_reference( '#/properties/foo' );

print $sub_schema->check( $struct );

Returns the JSON::Schema::AsType object associated with the type referenced by $ref.
