jddf-fuzz

jddf-fuzz generates random JSON documents that satisfy a JDDF schema. It's useful for doing quick-and-dirty testing or for generating somewhat realistic data.

Usage

See jddf-fuzz --help for detailed instructions, but essentially you run it like this:

$ echo '{ "type": "timestamp" }' | jddf-fuzz -n 5
"1950-09-01T00:06:56+00:00"
"1983-04-06T13:12:43+00:00"
"1904-12-21T19:35:20+00:00"
"1937-02-13T07:59:45+00:00"
"1971-10-19T17:26:48+00:00"

By default, jddf-fuzz reads a JDDF schema from STDIN, and then produces an infinite number of JSON lines satisfying that schema to STDOUT. To use a file instead of STDIN, you can call jddf-fuzz as:

jddf-fuzz schema.json

Demo

Here's a schema that uses all jddf features:

{
  "discriminator": {
    "tag": "type",
    "mapping": {
      "primitives": {
        "properties": {
          "any": {},
          "bool": { "type": "boolean" },
          "num": { "type": "float64" },
          "str": { "type": "string" },
          "ts": { "type": "timestamp" }
        },
        "optionalProperties": {
          "opt_bool": { "type": "boolean" }
        }
      },
      "array": {
        "properties": {
          "arr": {
            "elements": { "type": "boolean" }
          }
        }
      },
      "map": {
        "properties": {
          "map": {
            "values": { "type": "boolean" }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Here are some sample values generated from that schema by jddf-fuzz:
