Crate jsonref[−][src]
Expand description
jsonref dereferences JSONSchema $ref
attributes and creates a new dereferenced schema.
Dereferencing is normally done by a JSONSchema validator in the process of validation, but it is sometimes useful to do this independent of the validator for tasks like:
- Analysing a schema programatically to see what field there are.
- Programatically modifying a schema.
- Passing to tools that create fake JSON data from the schema.
- Passing the schema to form generation tools.
Example:
use serde_json::json;
use jsonref::JsonRef;
let mut simple_example = json!(
{"properties": {"prop1": {"title": "name"},
"prop2": {"$ref": "#/properties/prop1"}}
}
);
let mut jsonref = JsonRef::new();
jsonref.deref_value(&mut simple_example).unwrap();
let dereffed_expected = json!(
{"properties":
{"prop1": {"title": "name"},
"prop2": {"title": "name"}}
}
);
assert_eq!(simple_example, dereffed_expected)
Note: If the JSONSchema has recursive $ref
only the first recursion will happen.
This is to stop an infinate loop.
