This schema can be used if you want to accept a string that contains valid JSON.
The JSON string will not be decoded (e.g. a JSON-encoded array will not beome an
array) but you know that the string contains a valid JSON. Data will not be
valid if the string does not contain valid JSON.
See also related schema: `json_or_str`, `str::encoded_json`,
`str::escaped_json`.

=head1 NAME
Sah::Schema::json_str - A string that contains valid JSON
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.007 of Sah::Schema::json_str (from Perl distribution Sah-Schemas-JSON), released on 2022-11-15.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head2 Sample data and validation results against this schema
"" # INVALID (Empty string is not a valid JSON)
1 # valid
"true" # valid
"foo" # INVALID (Not a valid JSON literal)
"\"foo\"" # valid (A JSON-encoded string)
"[1,2,3,{}]" # valid
"[1,2" # INVALID (Missing closing square bracket)
"[1,2,]" # INVALID (Dangling comma)
=head2 Using with Data::Sah
To check data against this schema (requires L<Data::Sah>):
use Data::Sah qw(gen_validator);
my $validator = gen_validator("json_str*");
say $validator->($data) ? "valid" : "INVALID!";
The above schema returns a boolean result (true if data is valid, false if
otherwise). To return an error message string instead (empty string if data is
valid, a non-empty error message otherwise):
my $validator = gen_validator("json_str", {return_type=>'str_errmsg'});
my $errmsg = $validator->($data);
# a sample valid data
$data = "[1,2,3,{}]";
my $errmsg = $validator->($data); # => ""
# a sample invalid data
$data = "[1,2,]";
my $errmsg = $validator->($data); # => "String is not a valid JSON: malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 5 (before \"]\") at (eval 2551) line 13.\n"
Often a schema has coercion rule or default value, so after validation the
validated value is different. To return the validated (set-as-default, coerced,
prefiltered) value:
my $validator = gen_validator("json_str", {return_type=>'str_errmsg+val'});
my $res = $validator->($data); # [$errmsg, $validated_val]
# a sample valid data
$data = "[1,2,3,{}]";
my $res = $validator->($data); # => ["","[1,2,3,{}]"]
# a sample invalid data
$data = "[1,2,]";
my $res = $validator->($data); # => ["String is not a valid JSON: malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 5 (before \"]\") at (eval 2557) line 13.\n","[1,2,]"]
Data::Sah can also create validator that returns a hash of detailed error
message. Data::Sah can even create validator that targets other language, like
JavaScript, from the same schema. Other things Data::Sah can do: show source
code for validator, generate a validator code with debug comments and/or log
statements, generate human text from schema. See its documentation for more
details.
=head2 Using with Params::Sah
To validate function parameters against this schema (requires L<Params::Sah>):
use Params::Sah qw(gen_validator);
sub myfunc {
my @args = @_;
state $validator = gen_validator("json_str*");
$validator->(\@args);
...
}
=head2 Using with Perinci::CmdLine::Lite
To specify schema in L<Rinci> function metadata and use the metadata with
L<Perinci::CmdLine> (L<Perinci::CmdLine::Lite>) to create a CLI:
# in lib/MyApp.pm
package
MyApp;
our %SPEC;
$SPEC{myfunc} = {
v => 1.1,
summary => 'Routine to do blah ...',
args => {
arg1 => {
summary => 'The blah blah argument',
schema => ['json_str*'],
},
...
},
};
sub myfunc {
my %args = @_;
...
}
1;
# in myapp.pl
package
main;
use Perinci::CmdLine::Any;
Perinci::CmdLine::Any->new(url=>'/MyApp/myfunc')->run;
# in command-line
% ./myapp.pl --help
myapp - Routine to do blah ...
...
% ./myapp.pl --version
% ./myapp.pl --arg1 ...
=head2 Using with Type::Tiny
To create a type constraint and type library from a schema:
package My::Types {
use Type::Library -base;
use Type::FromSah qw( sah2type );
__PACKAGE__->add_type(
sah2type('$sch_name*', name=>'JsonStr')
);
}
use My::Types qw(JsonStr);
JsonStr->assert_valid($data);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This schema can be used if you want to accept a string that contains valid JSON.
The JSON string will not be decoded (e.g. a JSON-encoded array will not beome an
array) but you know that the string contains a valid JSON. Data will not be
valid if the string does not contain valid JSON.

=head1 CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on
GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can
simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>, and sometimes one or two other
Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond
that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
