This jQuery plugin utilises and requires the JSONSchema Validator
which is created by and Copyright (c) 2007 Kris Zyp SitePen (www.sitepen.com)
Licensed under the MIT (MIT-LICENSE.txt) licence.
JSONSchema Validator - Validates JavaScript objects using JSON Schemas
- http://jsonschema.googlecode.com/files/jsonschema-b2.js
(but check for the latest release)

Revision history
----------------
v1.0.1 - 4 Dec 2008
- Extended $.getValidJSON(params) API so you can define
{ schema : { send : xxx, receive : zzz } } so you can
optionally validate data on the way out and on the way in.
- Added tests to ensure that the schema key defined does really
exist as a typeof "object" in validJSONSchemas.
v1.0.0 - 3 Dec 2008
- initial release
Support
-------
For support, suggestions or general discussion please visit the #SOAPjr irc
channel on freenode.net or visit http://SOAPjr.org
Implementation overview
-----------------------
NOTE: This work contributes to the SOAPjr Data Model Definition project
that is designed to encourage the adoption and use of common JSON
data models with common SOAPjr APIs.
See http://soapjr.org/specs.html#dmd for more information
1. Include the jquery.js, jsonschema-b2.js and jquery.ValidJSON.js src files
into your html page - optionally include the jquery.SOAPjr.js plugin too
2. Add a call to the $(document).ready(function() { ... }) block to load
the relevant JSON Schema definition files you require
e.g.
- http://soapjr.org/schemas/SOAPjr_request
- see http://json-schema.org/shared.html for common formats
3. Get the JSON files/objects you require using the $.getValidJSON() API
4. Check the "result.valid" boolean and "result.errors" array for any
validation errors and if all is good then use "json" like normal.
5. Sleep well knowing your data is cleanly validated and conforms to your
chosen schema.
Code usage examples
-------------------
1. Include src files
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jsonschema-b2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.ValidJSON.js"></script>
2. Add calls to load schema files
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//load them from a URL
$.getValidJSONSchemas({
//id //url
"card" : "http://json-schema.org/card",
"calendar" : "http://json-schema.org/calendar"
});
//import them from a local var
$.setValidJSONSchemas({
//id //pre-populated vars (possibly included in .js files)
"geo" : geoschema_var,
"address" : addressschema_var
});
});
</script>
NOTE: cross-domain xhr restrictions apply - look at JSONP for cross domain requests
3. Get the JSON files/objects
<script type="text/javascript">
function do_your_stuff() {
//collect data from a form or setup a stub
var params = { ... };
//get your data and validate it in one call
var xhr = $.getValidJSON({
"url" : url, //required
"data" : params, //optional
"callback" : "my_callback", //required (see point 4 below)
"schema" : { "send":"schema_id1", "receive":"schema_id2" } //optional - can be defined within the response JSON object using $schema
});
}
</script>
4. Check the validation results/errors
<script type="text/javascript">
//setup your callback to handle the json data and any validation errors
function my_callback(result, json) {
if (result.valid) {
//json contains a valid XXX data object
} else {
for (var e in result.errors) {
//e.property tells you which value is invalid
//e.message is a human readable error message
}
}
}
</script>
5. Relax
This plugin will let you do field level schema based validation.
You can also connect this to your form validation for standardised form data.
And you can use it in combination with the SOAPjr plugin to make sure
your apps handle metadata and complex/multiple errors seamlessly.
Isn't technology great! 8)
