NAME

JSON::Validator::Error - JSON::Validator error object

SYNOPSIS

use JSON::Validator::Error;
my $err = JSON::Validator::Error->new($path, $message);

DESCRIPTION

JSON::Validator::Error is a class representing validation errors from JSON::Validator.

ATTRIBUTES

details

my $error     = $error->details(["generic", "generic"]);
my $error     = $error->details([qw(array type object)]);
my $error     = $error->details([qw(format date-time Invalid)]);
my $array_ref = $error->details;

Details about the error:

  1. Often the category of tests that was run. Example values: allOf, anyOf, array, const, enum, format, integer, not, null, number, object, oneOf and string.

  2. Often the test that failed. Example values: additionalItems, additionalProperties, const, enum, maxItems, maxLength, maxProperties, maximum, minItems, minLength. minProperties, minimum, multipleOf, not, null, pattern, required, type and uniqueItems,

  3. The rest of the list contains parameters for the test that failed. It can be a plain human-readable string or numbers indicating things such as max/min values.

message

my $str = $error->message;

A human readable description of the error. Defaults to being being constructed from "details". See the $MESSAGES variable in the source code for more details.

As an EXPERIMENTAL hack you can localize $JSON::Validator::Error::MESSAGES to get i18n support. Example:

sub validate_i18n {
  local $JSON::Validator::Error::MESSAGES = {
    allOf => {type => '/allOf Forventet %3 - fikk %4.'},
  };

  my @error_norwegian = $jv->validate({age => 42});
}

Note that the error messages might contain a mix of English and the local language. Run some tests to see how it looks.

my $str = $error->path;

A JSON pointer to where the error occurred. Defaults to "/".
