Hi Sohani,
Instead of properties array with attributes supported with @ prefix, can we
use an attributes array in the schema ?
For example :
Current definition :
"address": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address";,
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"city": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address/city";,
"type": "string"
},
"@no": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address/no";,
"type": "string"
},
"road": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address/road";,
"type": "string"
}
}
}
With attributes array :
"address": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address";,
"type": "object",
"attributes": {
"no": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address/no";,
"type": "string"
}
},
"properties": {
"city": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address/city";,
"type": "string"
},
"road": {
"id": "http://jsonschema.net/employee/0/address/road";,
"type": "string"
}
}
}
Two reasons to suggest this :
1. We do not have to use a prefix to define attributes and they can be
easily distinguished from other fields since they are defined separate from
other fields (properties)
2. In the case of a primitive type with attributes, we can still preserve
the type as string and have attributes instead of using properties (since
properties are only valid in json schema for object type)
WDYT?
Thanks,
