YAML Configuration Validation

Import, or copy & paste a YAML configuration via the three-dot menu in the Configuration tab. We have conveniently placed an Examples folder, with a JSON Schema that serves as the

Errors will then be highlighted, against the imported JSON schema.

How-To: Validate your YAML file

1. Visit the CDNF.io YAML Editor website
2. Import/paste a valid draft-04 JSON Schema, or use the existing example, via the folder icon, in the JSON Schema tab, on the right.

   {
     "type": "object",
     "properties": {
       "user": {
         "type": "object",
         "properties": {
           "id": {
             "$ref": "#/definitions/positiveInt"
           },
           "name": {
             "type": "string"
           },
           "birthday": {
             "type": "string",
             "chance": {
               "birthday": {
                 "string": true
               }
             }
           },
           "email": {
             "type": "string",
             "format": "email"
           }
         },
         "required": [
           "id",
           "name",
           "birthday",
           "email"
         ]
       }
     },
     "required": [
       "user"
     ],
     "definitions": {
       "positiveInt": {
         "type": "integer",
         "minimum": 0,
         "minimumExclusive": true
       }
     }
   }

3. Have a look at the generated Example YAML code in the YAML Example tab.

Invalid YAML File

• Import, or copy & paste this invalid YAML example into the Configuration window

user:
  id: -33524623
  name: "Jon Snow"
  birthday: "19/12/283"
  email: "jonsnow@gmail.com"

Valid YAML File

• Import, or copy & paste this valid YAML example into the Configuration window

user:
  id: 33524623
  name: "John Snow"
  birthday: "19/12/283"
  email: "jonsnow@gmail.com"

Limitations

The JSON Schema specification recommends to use the definitions key, where all definitions should be located. Then, you should use a relative path to point to the definitions.

Our implementation of the JSON schema requires a definitions object, if the ref ID links to a definition and does not use a relative path.

• Supported: JSON Schema draft-04 (and included features, such as valid formats, etc.)
• Not supported: Loading definitions from external URIs
