How to instance validation using json-schema-validator

[sha p]

Hi,

 I have come across while reading this docs , "instance validation" and "schema validation".

What exact "instance validation" means and what for it is useful ?

How to do it ? any samples around it ? or any doc around it ?

Thank you.

Hi, you can validate an instance with a schema. 

Like this: 

JsonNode instance = new JsonNodeReader().fromReader(new FileReader(<myJsonFileILikeToValidate>));

JsonNode schema = new JsonNodeReader().fromReader(new FileReader(<myJsonSchemaFile>));

ProcessingReport report = JsonSchemaFactory.byDefault().getValidator().validateUnchecked(schema, instance );
