JVal
====

[](#jval)

A [JSON Schema](http://json-schema.org) validator written in PHP.

Features:

- Full draft 4 support (passes the whole official \[test suite\] (), except for the two tests that require big nums to be treated as integers, which is not feasible in PHP)
- Distinct steps for references resolution, syntax parsing and data validation.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require stefk/jval dev-master`

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
$validator = JVal\Validator::buildDefault();
$violations = $validator->validate($data, $schema);
```

Data can be anything that might result from a call to `json_decode`. The schema must be the JSON-decoded representation of a JSON Schema, i.e. a `stdClass`instance.

If the schema contains relative references to external schemas (either remote or local), the absolute URI of the base schema will probably be needed as well:

```
$validator = JVal\Validator::buildDefault();
$violations = $validator->validate($data, $schema, 'file://path/to/the/schema');
```

CLI
