JsonSchema class

Represents a JSON schema that can be used to validate JSON data files loaded by the JsonFile class.

Signature:

export declare class JsonSchema 

Remarks

The schema itself is normally loaded and compiled later, only if it is actually required to validate an input. To avoid schema errors at runtime, it's recommended to create a unit test that calls JsonSchema.ensureCompiled() for each of your schema objects.
