constraint.StringValidJson

Constraint: StringValidJson

Description

Check that a string is valid json

Note: By default, this constraint is non-strict - if the value being checked is not a string, this constraint does not fail (unless the Strict field is set)

V8n Tag Abbreviation

strjson

Fields

Field	Type	Description
DisallowNullJson	bool	when set, disallows null JSON (i.e. null) as being valid
DisallowValue	bool	when set, disallows single JSON value (e.g. true) as being valid
DisallowArray	bool	when set, disallows JSON array as being valid
DisallowObject	bool	when set, disallows JSON object as being valid
Message	string	the violation message to be used if the constraint fails. If empty, the default message is used
Stop	bool	when set to true, Stop prevents further validation checks on the property if this constraint fails
Strict	bool	when set to true, fails if the value being checked is not a correct type
