Rhino Json schema validator library

[dapiced]

Does Rhino have a Json schema validator library? if not is there a way to install it? Especially with VMware aria orchestrator integration
if rhino does not accept adding module, should i use nodejs ou python in aria orchestrator then ?

Hello Dominic (@dapiced),

in the VMware Aria Orchestrator you have also the possibility to use different runtime environments. Beside JavaScript is PowerShell available. PowerShell contains a cmdlet call Test-Json. With this cmdlet it is very easy to realize a JSON schema validator. Here the PowerShell action:

function Handler($context, $inputs) {
    $result = Test-Json -Json $inputs.in_jsonContent -Schema $inputs.in_jsonSchema;
    $output=@{status = 'done'; result = $result};
    return $output
}

Now you can call this action from your JavaScript environment. Here I use the Microsoft example from the Test-Json description. Here the JavaScript action:

var jsonContent = '{"name": "Ashley", "age": 25}';

var jsonSchema = '{ \
  "definitions": {}, \
  "$schema": "[http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#"](http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#%22), \
  "$id": "[http://example.com/root.json"](http://example.com/root.json%22), \
  "type": "object", \
  "title": "The Root Schema", \
  "required": [ \
    "name", \
    "age" \
  ], \
  "properties": { \
    "name": { \
      "$id": "#/properties/name", \
      "type": "string", \
      "title": "The Name Schema", \
      "default": "", \
      "examples": [ \
        "Ashley" \
      ], \
      "pattern": "^(.*)$" \
    }, \
    "age": { \
      "$id": "#/properties/age", \
      "type": "integer", \
      "title": "The Age Schema", \
      "default": 0, \
      "examples": [ \
        25 \
      ] \
    } \
  } \
}';

var result = System.getModule("de.stschnell").jsonSchemaValidator(
  jsonContent,
  jsonSchema
);

return result.result;

With this approach it is not necessary to install an additional library. You simply combine the existing possibilities of VMware Aria Automation. Because as far as I know a JSON schema validator is not available.
