Use enjoi for input validation.

Rather than tv4, use enjoi for input validation.

Likely API schema validation will need to remain the same due to the broken Swagger 2.0 schema.

Hello @tlivings.

I'm considering swagger spec and this implementation for my company data aggregation layer. While reading the code I wondered (read master branch) about the decision to use enjoi instead of tv4. I prefer tv4 mainly because it's seems more performant (http://cosmicrealms.com/blog/2014/02/07/benchmark-of-node-dot-js-json-validation-modules-part-2/).

Could you share the rationale behind this issue?

Hi, sure.

The link you reference has questionable benchmarks. When I ran my own benchmarks, which you can run by calling npm run bench in swagaerize-builder, joi validation is actually much faster. I suspect the benchmark run in that link was done without pre-building the joi schema, which I do.

In addition, I found I had better validation results with enjoi, since I resolved $ref up front.

Finally, since I also wrote a swaggerize-hapi module, hapi handles the input validation automatically if you provide it a joi schema, which was a really nice fit.

Hope this helps answer your question.

Closing this since it's already done in 2.0.0.
