Is it safe to use Schema._inner[n].children to walk through a schema as defined by Joi.object.keys({})?

• node version: 6.5
• joi version: 10.1
• environment (node, browser): node
• used with (hapi, standalone, ...): standalone
• any other relevant information:

What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce ?

If i want to validate server payload (json) against the schema props and not running the validate function could I reliably dig into:
schema._inner.children[n].schema._inner[n2]
recursively to figure out the object keys that belong there?

const schema = Joi.object().keys({
  hmaId: Joi.string().max(255).required(),
  modelName: Joi.string().max(255).required(),
  modelYear: Joi.number().required(),
  modelData: Joi.object().keys({
    disclaimers: Joi.array().items(
      Joi.object().keys({
        key: Joi.string().required(),
        text: Joi.string().required(),
      }),
    ),
  }).required(),
}).unknown(false)

Which result you had ?

It seems pretty consistent but just want to make sure.

What did you expect ?

that it is consistent...

It's safer to use the undocumented .describe() method on the schema object. :)

@Marsup may change _inner without notice
