Kwalify(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Kwalify(3) NAME Kwalify - Kwalify schema for data structures SYNOPSIS use Kwalify qw(validate); validate($schema, $data); Typically used together with YAML or JSON: use YAML; validate(YAML::LoadFile($schema_file), YAML::LoadFile($data_file)); use JSON; validate(decode_json($schema_data), decode_json($data)); DESCRIPTION Kwalify is a Perl implementation for validating data structures against the Kwalify schema. For a schema definition, see <http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kwalify/ruby/users-guide.01.html>, but see also below "SCHEMA DEFINITION". validate($schema_data, $data) Validate $data according to Kwalify schema specified in $schema_data. Dies if the validation fails. validate may be exported. SCHEMA DEFINITION The original schema definition document is not very specific about types and behaviour. Here's how Kwalify.pm implements things: pattern Perl regular expressions are used for patterns. This may or may not be compatible with other Kwalify validators, so restrict to "simple" regular expression constructs to be compatible with other validators. type str Any defined value which is not a number. Most probably you will want to use text instead of str. int A possibly signed integer. Note that scientific notation is not supported, and it is also not clear whether it should be supported. float A possibly signed floating value with a mandatory decimal point. Note that scientific notation is also not supported here. bool The values yes, true, and 1 for true values and the values no, false, and 0 for false values are allowed. The ruby implementation possibly allows more values, but this is not documented. Note that this definition is problematic, because for example the string no is a true boolean value in Perl. So one should stick to 0 and 1 as data values, and probably define an additional pattern or enum to ensure this: type: bool enum: [0, 1] scalar Currently the same as text, but it's not clear if this is correct. date A string matching "/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/" (i.e. YYYY-MM-DD). Note that no date range checks are done (yet). time A string matching "/^\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}$/" (i.e. HH:MM:SS). Note that no time range checks are done (yet). timestamp Not supported --- it is not clear what this is supposed to be. assert Currently not supported by the Perl implementation. classname Previously defined what is now class, see <http://web.archive.org/web/20071230173101/http://www.kuwata-lab.com/kwalify/users-guide.01.html>. class Currently not used, as there's no genclass action. default Currently not used, as there's no genclass action. TECHNICAL NOTES As Kwalify.pm is a pure validator and de-coupled from a parser (in fact, it does not need to deal with YAML at all, but just with pure perl data structures), there's no connection to the original validated document. This means that no line numbers are available to the validator. In case of validation errors the validator is only able to show a path-like expression to the data causing the error.
