public abstract class KeywordValidator
extends Object

Base class for a schema keyword validator

In the processing order, a keyword validator is only called after the schema has been deemed syntactically valid: this is why it is practically a requirement that if you create a new validating keyword, you pair it with a SyntaxChecker. The constructor will be all the more simple as a result.

A keyword only takes effect for a certain number of JSON instance types: if the instance to validate is not among these types, validation succeeds.

Two other abstract classes exist which you may want to extend instead of this one, depending on your needs:

• NumericKeywordValidator, for validating numeric instances;
• PositiveIntegerKeywordValidator, for keywords accepting only a positive integer as an argument (to be paired with PositiveIntegerSyntaxChecker.

validateInstance

public final void validateInstance(ValidationContext context,
                    ValidationReport report,

Its only role is to check whether the instance type is recognized by this keyword. If so, it calls validate(ValidationContext, ValidationReport, JsonNode).

Parameters:

context - the context

report - the validation report

instance - the instance to validate

validate
