Validating schema at all levels

[Trond Husø]

Dear list,

As this is my first post, let me introduce myself: I am a Norwegian developer who is also a member of the organization IPTC. We are currently working on a standard for sports data. Because we have been working on the XML standard for years, we have decided to make the JSON-standard as close to the XML-standard as possible.

This may not be the right way to do it, but as we see it there are benefits: 

1) We can reuse documentation

2) Developers of applications delivering sports data using our standards can reuse code (I've done this in a C# application I developed a few years back).

We have created a JSON-schema and we do think it is quite good, just that it does only validate the first level - or so it seems.

We are also trying to figure out how to do something like the following:

In the structure at the end of this post we have a sportsContent - we want this to be mandatory. Then we have a tournament and below this one the tournamentMetadata (TM). At the same level we have tournamentDivision (TD). TD may occur so we cannot make it mandatory, but if it is present we would like the schema to validate it and the structure following.

Our schema can be found here:

https://github.com/iptc/sportsjs-dev (We are using draft 04) 

Looking forward to some feedback from the group/list.

Best regards,

Trond

Hi trond!

This is quite a huge JSON schema. Is it still active?

Kind regards

Hi Clemens!

Thanks for reaching out

 

It is active. Both in development and to be used/implemented by anyone who would like to provide sports data in json format.

 

We are currently trying to

1. Make sure validation work
2. Create documentation based on the description property in the schema

Hi Trond! Nice to hear.

Maybe you want to upload the schemas also to http://schemastore.org/json/ ? I was not able to find them there.

I had to fix a small issue with the (actually optional) date-time format validation in my editor/validator but the samples are validating fine.

What requirements do you have on generating the schema documentation? I would like to learn how I could improve this feature in JSONBuddy. Currently, it is supported to generate a tree structure diagram as HTML from the JSON schema (using SVG).

Kind regards

Clemens
