[%CFEngine_function_prototype(data_container, type)%]
Description: Validates a JSON container from data_container and returns
true if the contents are valid JSON.
This function is intended to be expanded with functionality for validating
CSV and YAML files eventually, mirroring readdata(). If type is JSON,
it behaves the same as validjson().
[%CFEngine_function_attributes(data_container, type)%]
Example:
Run:
[%CFEngine_include_snippet(validdata.cf, #+begin_src cfengine3, .*end_src)%]
Output:
[%CFEngine_include_snippet(validdata.cf, #+begin_src\s+example_output\s*, .*end_src)%]
See also: readdata(), validjson()
History: Was introduced in 3.16.0.
