Interface SchemaLibrary

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileSchemaLibrary

public interface SchemaLibrary

A SchemaLibrary maintains a collection of schemas which can be recalled by name. This is so that one fragment of a schema can be reused in many other schemas. An implementation of this is provided in FileSchemaLibrary that takes a path to a folder full of files, and the files are all expected to be JSON schema files with a naming convention. If you are storing schemas in someplace other than a file system, or if your naming convention is different, then provide a different library implementation and supply it to the JSONSchema object to use for looking up schemas.
