A Haskell implementation of the current JSON Schema specification (Draft 4).

Requires pcre (pkgs.pcre in Nixpkgs).

NOTE: Schemas with circular references can cause infinite loops. hjsonschema does loop detection but it may not be solid yet -- please open an issue if you find a situation where it fails.

Example

See here.

Tests

Run all tests:

stack test

Run only local tests:

stack test hjsonschema:local

Run remote tests (makes GETs to json-schema.org, also temporarily starts an HTTP server on port 1234):

stack test hjsonschema:remote

Details

Goals

Be a correct and fast implementation of the spec.
Be a useful reference for implementers in other languages. Haskell's high level nature, expressive type system and referential transparency suit this purpose well.

Good Parts

Passes all the required tests in the language agnostic test suite.
Very modular, which should make it easy to support future versions of the specification.

Bad Parts

Uses the pcre-heavy regular expression library for the "pattern" validator. It should use a library based on the ECMA 262 regex dialect, which the spec requires.
Currently doesn't support the optional "format" validators.
