Coverting map into a json schema - jsonschema

I want to create the json schema of the following:
My java pojo looks like:
public class Filter {
Map<String, Object>
Map<String, Integer> sort;
int offset = -1;
int limit = -1;
List<String> responseFields;
}
My sample json looks like:
{
"terms": {
"foo":"bar",
"foo1":1
},
"sort": {
"foo": 1
},
"offset": 1,
"limit": 25,
"responseFields": ["foo", "foo1"]
}
I'm stuck at creating the json-schema for the terms and order fields. Can anyone please let me know how i could mode this?

Map<String, ???> can be described with { "type": "object", "additionalProperties": ??? }.
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"terms": { "type": "object" },
"sort": {
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": { "type": "integer" }
},
"offset": { "type": "integer" },
"limit": { "type": "integer" },
"responseFields": {
"type": "array",
"items": { "type": "string" }
}
}
}

Is there a way to have a rule in one object that references properties from a different object?

I could not find any examples of this so I'm assuming it's not possible, but want to confirm.
I have a main schema that references other schemas:
https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/s/4aLvXa4I
{
"$defs": {
"mainSchema": {
"$id": "https://example.com/person.schema.json",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"additionalProperties": false,
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"$ref": "#/$defs/objectOne"
},
"objectTwo": {
"$ref": "#/$defs/objectTwo"
}
}
},
"objectOne": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"checkThisValue": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"one",
"two",
"three"
]
}
}
},
"objectTwo": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"A",
"B",
"C"
]
}
}
}
},
"$ref": "#/$defs/mainSchema"
}
I want to define this rule:
IF objectOne.checkThisValue == one
THEN objectTwo.whenSettingThisValue MUST == A
Same for two=>B and three=>C
Is this possible somehow? How do I reference objectOne properties inside of objectTwo?
Edit
I tried to create an if rule for objectTwo that references objectOne here, but my syntax is wrong because it's not working. whenSettingThisValue is set to C and it's saying valid when it should be invalid: https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/s/NNjEIhWW
"objectTwo": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"type": "string",
"enum": [
"A",
"B",
"C"
]
}
},
"if": {
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"checkThisValue": {
"const": "one"
}
}
}
},
"then": {
"properties": {
"objectTwo": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"const": "A"
}
}
}
}
}
},
I also tried using a oneOf rule in mainSchema where both the subschemas are used, but it is not working either (this example should be invalid): https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/s/WkmMasDC
"mainSchema": {
"$id": "https://example.com/person.schema.json",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"additionalProperties": false,
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"$ref": "#/$defs/objectOne"
},
"objectTwo": {
"$ref": "#/$defs/objectTwo"
}
},
"oneOf": [
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"checkThisValue": {
"const": "one"
}
},
"objectTwo": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"const": "A"
}
}
}
}
]
},
Solution
Per answer my OneOf rule was malformed. This correctly checks a value in one object is set in response to another. I thought because I was referencing them in another schema with $ref I would have to do something special, but I don't.
https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net/s/HcVhrShk
"oneOf": [
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"properties": {
"checkThisValue": {
"const": "one"
}
}
},
"objectTwo": {
"properties": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"const": "A"
}
}
}
}
},
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"properties": {
"checkThisValue": {
"const": "two"
}
}
},
"objectTwo": {
"properties": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"const": "B"
}
}
}
}
}
]
},
Yes you can. There is an if/then/else construct which takes schemas as its arguments, so you can define a rule "if property A exists with value X, then property B must exist with value Y" etc.
There are some examples here:
https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/conditionals.html#if-then-else
edit:
in your re-edit, change the oneOf clause to this:
"oneOf": [
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectOne": {
"properties": {
"checkThisValue": {
"const": "one"
}
}
}
}
},
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"objectTwo": {
"properties": {
"whenSettingThisValue": {
"const": "A"
}
}
}
}
}
]

Referring inner properties in the IF condition - JSON Schema

The following is a sample schema to depict the issue
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"type": "object",
"definitions": {
"person": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"age": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
},
"properties": {
"child": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/person"
}
},
"required": [
"child"
],
"if": {
"properties": {
"person/age": {
"const": "3"
}
}
},
"then": {
"properties": {
"guardian": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/person"
}
},
"required": [
"guardian"
]
}
}
Is there a way to refer age inside the person object?
{"child":{"age":"3"}}. Should fail as guardian tag is missing
The above data should fail as the guardian object is missing.
Remember that if is just a regular schema validating against the instance. Just nest your properties like you would with any nested object structure.
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"child": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"age": { "const": "3" }
},
"required": ["age"]
}
},
"required": ["child"]
}
Note that the type and required keywords are necessary to not inadvertently trigger the then schema. For example, with out them, these would cause the then to trigger when you probably didn't want it to.
{}
{ "child": null }
{ "child": {} }

Does JSON Schema have a switch like structure?

Consider this following example,
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "Animal",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"type": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Type of animal."
},
"data": {
"$ref": "#/$definations/cat"
}
},
"$definations":{
"cat" : {
"properties" : {
"meow" : {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
},
"required": ["type"]
}
and the correct JSON is ,
{
"type" : "cat",
"data" : {
"meow" : "OK"
}
}
Now I am having enum of Animals, and the data ref will vary based on type of Animal.
I have have tried if else but it seems not efficient as the condition will keep on growing.
Also used anyOf but how will I make sure that meow will always belong to animal type cat and not dog.
Can we have something like,
cat : { "$ref" : "#/$definations/cat" },
dog : { "$ref" : "#/$definations/dog" }
EDIT : Or dynamic value in ref like #/$definations/{type-value} ?
Thanks in advance.
I have have tried if else but it seems not efficient as the condition
will keep on growing.
Can we have something like...
No. JSON Schema (2019-09 and previous) doesn't have a "switch".
You'll need to use allOf to create multiple if then conditions.
After #Relequestual's response and some more digging I found there is no such way. At least in this version, fingers crossed for the future releases.
Here is my solution, feel free to suggest improvements.
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"title": "Animal",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"type": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Type of animal."
}
},
"$definations": {
"cat": {
"properties": {
"meow": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"meow"
]
},
"dog": {
"properties": {
"bhow": {
"type": "string"
}
},
"required": [
"bhow"
]
}
},
"oneOf": [
{
"properties": {
"type": {
"const": "cat"
},
"data": {
"$ref": "#/$definations/cat"
}
}
},
{
"properties": {
"type": {
"const": "dog"
},
"data": {
"$ref": "#/$definations/dog"
}
}
}
],
"required": [
"type"
]
}

JSON Schema switch object properties based on enum

I've been struggling with "switch" in JSON Schema. Went through couple of GitHub and SO discussions on this topic but haven't find solution.
My intention is to vary "payload" object properties based on "id" enum that will have 30 different mappings ("payload" definitions per enum "id").
For example first message json object will have amount and other properties but for the demo purpose let's go only with one property (amout):
{
"message": {
"id": 1,
"correlationId": "a0011e83-280e-4085-b0f1-691059aaae61",
"payload": {
"amount": 100
}
}
}
And second json:
{
"message": {
"id": 2,
"correlationId": "a0011e83-280e-4085-b0f1-691059aaae61",
"payload": {
"code": "xyz"
}
}
}
Is there a way to build JSON Schema (draft 7 or any other) in this manner?
What you're asking for is a fairly common requirement. Using oneOf/anyOf should get you where you want.
In those cases where the alternatives are mutually exclusive (due to the different "id" values), I'm in favour of anyOf to allow Schema Validator to stop checking when encountering the first matching subschema – whereas oneOf implies that all other alternatives must not match, e.g. in case of "id": 1 a validator would only have to check against the first subschema in an anyOf to indicate that it is valid while for oneOf it'd have to check against the other 29 to ensure that those aren't also valid. But you may find oneOf more expressive for human consumers of your schema.
For your particular scenario, I'd imagine something along the lines of the following schema:
{
"type": "object",
"required": ["message"],
"properties": {
"message": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["id", "correlationId", "payload"],
"properties": {
"id": { "enum": [1, 2, 3] },
"correlationId": { "type": "string" },
"payload": { "type": "object" }
},
"anyOf": [
{
"properties": {
"id": { "const": 1 },
"payload": { "$ref": "#/definitions/payload1" }
}
},
{
"properties": {
"id": { "const": 2 },
"payload": { "$ref": "#/definitions/payload2" }
}
},
{
"properties": {
"id": { "const": 3 },
"payload": { "$ref": "#/definitions/payload3" }
}
},
]
}
},
"definitions": {
"payload1": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["amount"],
"properties": {
"amount": { "type": "integer" }
}
},
"payload2": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["code"],
"properties": {
"code": { "type": "string" }
}
},
"payload3": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["foo"],
"properties": {
"foo": { "type": "string" }
}
}
}
}

Json Schema: Require a property only when a specific property is present in a deep nested object

I need to build a json schema (draft 4) that requires a property based on the presence of a property in another nested object. I already searched and tried a lot of things (anyOf, oneOf, not, dependencies) with no luck.
Maybe this is not possible to in json schema?
This is my simplified schema:
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"type": "object",
"required": ["dog"],
"properties": {
"dog": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["bananas"],
"properties": {
"bananas": { "$ref": "bananas.json" },
"thing": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"total": { "type": "string" }
}
}
}
}
}
}
And this is bananas.json
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
"type": "object",
"required": ["banana"],
"definitions": {
"non-empty-string": {
"type": "string",
"minLength": 1
}
},
"properties": {
"banana": {
"type": "array",
"minItems": 1,
"items": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["unit"],
"properties": {
"unit": { "type": "string" },
"thing": {
"type": "object",
"anyOf": [
{ "required": [ "tax_transfers" ] },
{ "required": [ "tax_retentions" ] }
],
"properties": {
"tax_transfers": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["tax_transfer"],
"properties": {
"tax_transfer": {
"type": "array",
"minItems": 1,
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"rate": { "type": "string" }
}
}
}
}
},
"tax_retentions": {
"type": "object",
"required": ["tax_retention"],
"properties": {
"tax_retention": {
"type": "array",
"minItems": 1,
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"rate": { "type": "string" }
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I need that when one or more objects in the array have a 'thing' property (at bananas -> banana -> thing).
Then the property 'thing' at (dog -> thing) should be required.
Any help would be really appreciated.
You need two things to express your constraint. The first is "contains" and the other is "implication". I've organized each in the definitions section.
Contains
The items keyword allows us to require that all items in an array are valid against a schema. If it is not true that all of the items in the array are not valid against the schema, then we know that at least one item is valid.
{
"not": {
"items": { "not": { ... schema ... } }
}
}
If you are able to upgrade to JSON Schema draft-06, a contains keyword was added to make this much easier.
{
"contains": { ... schema ... }
}
Implication
Implication allows you to do something like a conditional. The condition schema implies the constraint schema if either the condition is true, or the constraint is true (or both are true). It's effectively the same as saying, if the condition is true then the constraint must also be true.
{
"anyOf": [
{ "not": { ... condition schema ... } },
{ ... constraint schema ... }
]
}
JSON Schema draft-07 adds the if-then-else keywords in attempt to address this case better. I personally dislike the way this was done enough that I'll stick with the implication pattern for this kind of thing, but here it is in case you want to try it.
{
"if": { ... schema ... },
"then": { ... schema ... },
"else": { ... schema ... }
}
