Quick Start

To use the validator, you need to have both the JsonSchema object and JsonNode object constructed, and there are many ways to do that. Here is my base test class that shows you several ways to construct these from String, Stream, Url, and JsonNode. Pay attention to the JsonSchemaFactory class as it is the way to construct the JsonSchema object.

public class BaseJsonSchemaValidatorTest {
    protected JsonNode getJsonNodeFromClasspath(String name) throws Exception {
        InputStream is1 = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
                .getResourceAsStream(name);

        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        JsonNode node = mapper.readTree(is1);
        return node;
    }

    protected JsonNode getJsonNodeFromStringContent(String content) throws Exception {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        JsonNode node = mapper.readTree(content);
        return node;
    }

    protected JsonNode getJsonNodeFromUrl(String url) throws Exception {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        JsonNode node = mapper.readTree(new URL(url));
        return node;
    }

    protected JsonSchema getJsonSchemaFromClasspath(String name) throws Exception {
        JsonSchemaFactory factory = JsonSchemaFactory.getInstance();
        InputStream is = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()
                .getResourceAsStream(name);
        JsonSchema schema = factory.getSchema(is);
        return schema;
    }


    protected JsonSchema getJsonSchemaFromStringContent(String schemaContent) throws Exception {
        JsonSchemaFactory factory = JsonSchemaFactory.getInstance();
        JsonSchema schema = factory.getSchema(schemaContent);
        return schema;
    }

    protected JsonSchema getJsonSchemaFromUrl(String url) throws Exception {
        JsonSchemaFactory factory = JsonSchemaFactory.getInstance();
        JsonSchema schema = factory.getSchema(new URL(url));
        return schema;
    }

    protected JsonSchema getJsonSchemaFromJsonNode(JsonNode jsonNode) throws Exception {
        JsonSchemaFactory factory = JsonSchemaFactory.getInstance();
        JsonSchema schema = factory.getSchema(jsonNode);
        return schema;
    }
}

And the following is one of the test cases in one of the test classes that extend from the above base class. As you can see, it constructs JsonSchema and JsonNode from String.

		JsonSchema schema = getJsonSchemaFromStringContent("{\"enum\":[1, 2, 3, 4],\"enumErrorCode\":\"Not in the list\"}");
		JsonNode node = getJsonNodeFromStringContent("7");
		Set<ValidationMessage> errors = schema.validate(node);
		assertThat(errors.size(), is(1));
