Vorto Repository REST API endpoint to request JSON-Schema for Vorto Models

[aedelmann]

Vorto Repository exposes an REST API for the /models/{id}/content endpoint that accepts the following media types:

• application/schema-instance+json

• application/schema+json
  The output creates a JSON schema representation for the request model content.

• Works for Datatype,FB and Information Model

• Includes model references, properties, operations and events (status,configuration,events) in one JsonSchema file

Technical Hint:
Use the Eclipse Ditto generator as a basis as help on the JsonSchema generation
Ditto needs to be able to access models from Vorto in DRAFT mode to simplify development

Will the schema be a ditto-expected schema or a schema in vorto to json serialization?

[aedelmann]

Hi @zubairhamed
The json-schema output is not related to Ditto nor does it contain Ditto structures. It is basically a JSON-Schema representation of the Vorto DSL.

Nevertheless Ditto is going to understand that json-schema ..

I guess that this JSON schema can be generated by a Vorto generator. This generator can be called through the generator controller. Is there a real need to do this with /models/{id}/content?

Hi @e-grigorov
You are absolutely right. This generator exists and can be internally invoked by the Repository to return the json-schema.
