Validating a schema using strings about jsonschemafriend HOT 5 CLOSED

So you're passing the ByteArrayInputStream into a schema constructor?

from jsonschemafriend.

Or is it the object to test that you're passing in that way? If that's the case and the object is a string of JSON, you'll have to parse it first using a parser library. For example using the org.json library it's

new JSONObject(jsonString).toMap()

I was passing it in as a byteArrayInputStream. I was just confused how the library seemed to assume all schemas came from files and it didn't have a simple "string" based approach.

I will add a new method to validate a string containing JSON data. Since there's a parser embedded already (for fetching schemas from http) it's not difficult to do. I can't change the behavior of the existing parse method as validating a string (not necessarily containing JSON data) by a schema is a valid thing to do.
