Features

The JsonValidator class in this project supports the following schema validation features:

1. Required fields: Ensure that specific fields in the JSON data are mandatory.
2. At least one of many fields: Check that at least one of a set of fields is present in the JSON data.
3. Either one field or another field: Validate that either one field or another field (mutually exclusive) is present in the JSON data.
4. Mutually exclusive fields: Ensure that if one field is present, another field should not be present.
5. Field value to be one of a set of values: Validate that a field's value matches one of a predefined set of values (enum).

Installation

To use this JSON validation tool, follow these steps:

1. Clone this GitHub repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/json-validation-project.git

2. Change to the project directory:

   cd json-validation-project

3. (Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate   # On Windows, use: venv\Scripts\activate

4. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To use the JSON validation tool, you can create an instance of the JsonValidator class and call the validate_schema method. Here's an example:

from json_validator import JsonValidator

# Create an instance of the JsonValidator class
validator = JsonValidator(schema_file="path/to/schema.json", schema_integrity_file="path/to/schema_integrity.json")

# JSON data to be validated (provide the path to your JSON data file)
json_file_to_validate = "path/to/your/data.json"

# Validate the JSON data against the schema
is_valid = validator.validate_schema(json_file_to_validate)

if is_valid:
    print("Validation succeeded. The JSON data is valid.")
else:
    print("Validation failed. The JSON data is not valid.")

Replace "/schema.json", and "/data.json" with the actual file paths and JSON data you want to validate.

Project Structure

The project directory structure is organized as follows:

• json_validator.py: The Python script containing the JsonValidator class.
• validation_script.py: An example script demonstrating how to use the JsonValidator class.
• data/: Directory containing JSON data files for validation.
• README.md: This README file.
