A Haskell implementation of the current JSON Schema specification (Draft 4).

Hackage / GitHub / Travis CI

NOTE: You CANNOT use untrusted JSON data to make schemas. Schemas with circular references can cause infinite loops. See the issue list for more info.

Example

See here.

Tests

Install

git submodule update --init

Run

Will run self-contained:

cabal test local

Will start an HTTP server temporarily on port 1234:

cabal test remote

Details

Goals

• Be a correct and fast implementation of the spec.

• Be a useful reference for implementers in other languages. Haskell's high level nature, expressive type system and referential transparency suit this purpose well.

Good Parts

• Passes all the tests in the language agnostic test suite.

• Very modular, which should make it easy to support future versions of the specification.

Bad Parts

• Uses the regexpr regular expression library for the "pattern" validator. It should use a library based on the ECMA 262 regex dialect, which the spec requires.

Notes

• draft4.json is from commit # cc8ec81ce0abe2385ebd6c2a6f2d6deb646f874a here.
