Thread: Validate JSON according XSD schema

Hi,

Some site have REST API that return responses in two formats : xml and JSON .
Currently I finished basic checks for xml responses of this API .

Idea was simple - validate xml response using existing xsd schema that clear define what should be inside . I use Jersey (— Project Kenai ) for "speaking" with API and SAX to validate responses.

Now I need to do the same for JSON format . First big problem here is that I don't have JSON Schema to validate JSON response . So only way that I see is unmarshall JSON response to POJO hierarchy and then validate it against xsd that I have . But this way also raise up hard questions : I can't find Java classes that allow me to do this automatically . Also I can't find classes that allow me to work with xsd in low level - I mean not just general "tell me if this xml is valid according this xsd" but "tell me if this tag can have such children with such types".

Any ideas , directions or just thoughts are welcome. Maybe somebody can suggest totally different way ? Or somebody can suggest classes that allow to work with xsd on low level ?

Hi All,

I am currently working on creating a new Json schema which would help a user to sign into an application.

There are two different ways of logging in:
1. Username / password
2. email /password

Anyone of the above combination given by the user, he should be able to login. I have written two different schemas for this. The schemas goes this way

1. Username /password schema:
-------------------------------------

{
"required": true,
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": false,
"properties": {
"type": {
"required": true,
"type": "string",
},
"username": {
"required": true,
"type": "string",
},
"password": {
"required": true,
"type": "string",
}
}
}

2. email /password schema:
--------------------------------

{
"required": true,
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": false,
"properties": {
"type": {
"required": true,
"type": "string",
},
"email": {
"required": true,
"type": "string",
},
"password": {
"required": true,
"type": "string",
}
}
}

Is there a way to combine these two schemas and match the input given by the user.
something like: If the type=='email' then switch to email and password combination else switch to username password combination?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pradeep
