| # JSON validator |
| |
| The present tool verifies JSON files against schemas defined with |
| [JSON Schema][json_schema]. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ``` |
| json_validator <path to schema> <path to file to verify> [path to stamp file] |
| ``` |
| |
| The third argument represents the path to a stamp file which gets updated when |
| the tool runs successfully. This argument is mostly designed for integration |
| with GN actions. |
| |
| ## Schema references |
| |
| The schema passed to the tool may refer to other schema files. The tool will be |
| able to locate schema references for schemas specified as paths relative to the |
| folder containing the main schema. |
| |
| For example, if the tool is given a schema `/path/to/main_schema.json` and that |
| schema contains a reference to `file:another/sub_schema.json#/definitions/foo`, |
| the tool will look for the second schema at `path/to/another/sub_schema.json`. |
| |
| Paths to schemas may be specified as `file:another/sub_schema.json` or more |
| simply `another/sub_schema.json`. |
