Validate Schema against the JSON schema spec

[Charles-Élie Simon]

Hello,

I would like to know if the library offers the possibility to simply validate a JSON Schema against the JSON schema spec, and if yes, how.

I know of the :validate_schema option, but it only allows to validate a schema before validating a JSON instance against the schema. I would like to be able to just validate the schema against the spec.

Thank you for your answers !

You can do this by specifying the official meta-schema as your schema, for example:

JSON::Validator.validate("http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#", my_schema)

That's essentially what the gem does when you use the validate schema option.
