A Haskell implementation of the current [JSON Schema](http://json-schema.org/) specification (Draft 4).
[Hackage](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hjsonschema) / [GitHub](https://github.com/seagreen/hjsonschema) / [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/seagreen/hjsonschema)
NOTE: You CANNOT use untrusted JSON data to make schemas. Schemas with circular references can cause infinite loops. See the issue list for more info.
# Example
See [here](https://github.com/seagreen/hjsonschema/blob/master/examples/Simple.hs).
# Tests
Run all tests:
`stack test`
Run only local tests:
`stack test hjsonschema:local`
Run remote tests (makes GETs to json-schema.org, also temporarily starts an HTTP server on port 1234):
`stack test hjsonschema:remote`
# Details
## Goals
+ Be a correct and fast implementation of the spec.
+ Be a useful reference for implementers in other languages. Haskell's high level nature, expressive type system and referential transparency suit this purpose well.
## Good Parts
+ Passes all the tests in the [language agnostic test suite](https://github.com/json-schema/JSON-Schema-Test-Suite).
+ Very modular, which should make it easy to support future versions of the specification.
## Bad Parts
+ Uses the [pcre-heavy](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/pcre-heavy) regular expression library for the "pattern" validator. It should use a library based on the ECMA 262 regex dialect, which the [spec](http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html#anchor33) requires.
