CommonJS Utilities

CommonJS Utils is a collection of general purpose CommonJS-compliant modules. These modules can be used on Narwhal, Node, and other CommonJS platforms. The modules include:

• json-schema.js – This is a JSON Schema validator module. It can be used to validate data structures using JSON schema definitions. For example:

  var validate = require("json-schema").validate;
  var data = {name: "Test"};
  var schema = {
    properties: {
       name: {type: "string"},
       age: {type: "number"}
    }
  };
  var validation = validate(data, schema);
  validation.valid -> false
  validation.errors -> indicates that age was not provided
  data.age = 30;
  var validation = validate(data, schema);
  validation.valid -> true
  

  This module also supports using standard native constructors as type definitions. The schema above could be written
  more briefly:

  var schema = {
    properties: {
       name: String,
       age: Number
    }
  };
