3.4.0 – Minor Extension for Convenience in Module Definitions

Added

• Introduce convenience function MemberScope.getAnnotationConsideringFieldAndGetter(Class)

3.3.0 – Jackson Dependency Update to 2.10.0

Fixed

• Increase dependency version for jackson-databind (and jackson-core) to resolve security alerts.
• Avoid unnecessary quotes when representing constant string values (due to changed behaviour in jackson >=2.10.0)

This is a minor (instead of a patch) release due to the necessary change in behaviour for the Option.FLATTENED_ENUMS.

3.2.0 – Additional Property Support

Added

• In SchemaGenerator.generateSchema(Type) also allow passing type parameters via SchemaGenerator.generateSchema(Type, Type...).
• Support for "required" property via SchemaGeneratorConfigPart.withRequiredCheck() (PR #5).
• Support for "default" property via SchemaGeneratorConfigPart.withDefaultResolver() (PR #5).
• Support for "pattern" property via SchemaGeneratorConfigPart.withStringPatternResolver() (Issue #9).

3.1.0 – Minor Enhancement and Bug Fixes

Changed

• Use Class.getTypeName() instead of Class.getName() in TypeContext.getFullTypeDescription().

Added

• In TypeContext.resolve(Type) also allow passing type parameters via TypeContext.resolve(Type, Type...).

Fixed

• NullPointerException on MemberScope representing void methods.
• IndexOutOfBoundsException when determining container item type of raw Collection.

3.0.0 – Simplified Configuration API

Changed

• Simplify configuration API to be based on FieldScope/MethodScope respectively.
• Consolidate some utility functions into FieldScope/MethodScope.
• Consolidate logic for determining whether a type is a container into TypeContext.
• Consolidate naming logic for schema "definitions" into TypeContext.
• Add TypeContext argument to CustomDefinitionProvider interface.
• Remove SchemaGeneratorConfig argument from InstanceAttributeOverride interface.

Added

• Allow for sub-typing of FieldScope/MethodScope and TypeContext (in case offered configuration options are insufficient).

Removed

• Remove support for Option.GETTER_ATTRIBUTES_FOR_FIELDS and Option.FIELD_ATTRIBUTES_FOR_GETTERS, rather let configurations/modules decide individually and avoid potential endless loop.

2.0.0 – Type Resolution API Change

Changed

• Removed own/custom ype resolution and replaced it with org.fasterxml:classmate dependency.
• Adjusting configuration API to use classmate references for types/fields/methods.

Fixed

• Ignore complex constant values that may not be properly representable as JSON.

1.0.2 – Increase jackson-databind dependency version

• Bumping jackson-databind dependency version to 2.9.9 to benefit from fix for security alert.

1.0.1 – Dependency Fix Release

Fixed

• Specified "test" scope for dependency on jsonassert.

1.0.0 – Base Release

• Reflection-based JSON Schema Generator.
• Support of generics and the resolution of their type boundaries in the respective scope.
• Inclusion of any fields and public methods in a generated JSON Schema.
• Ability to define a fixed JSON Schema per type (e.g. for determining how to represent primitive types).
• Ability to customise various aspects of schema generation and assigned attributes.
• Concept of modules (e.g. for sub-libraries) to define a single entry-point for applying individual configurations.
• Standard enum of common configuration options.
• Specific handling of enums (two alternatives via standard options).
• Specific handling of optionals (two alternatives via standard options).
• Pre-defined sets of standard options to cover different use-cases and simplify library usage.
