jsonschema-module-javax-validation

Java JSON Schema Generator – Module javax.validation

Module for the jsonschema-generator – deriving JSON Schema attributes from javax.validation.constraints annotations.

Features

1. Determine whether a member is not nullable, base assumption being that all fields and method return values are nullable if not annotated. Based on @NotNull/@Null/@NotEmpty/@NotBlank
2. Populate list of "required" fields/methods for objects if JavaxValidationOption.NOT_NULLABLE_FIELD_IS_REQUIRED and/or JavaxValidationOption.NOT_NULLABLE_METHOD_IS_REQUIRED is/are being provided in constructor.
3. Populate "minItems" and "maxItems" for containers (i.e. arrays and collections). Based on @Size/@NotEmpty
4. Populate "minLength" and "maxLength" for strings. Based on @Size/@NotEmpty/@NotBlank
5. Populate "format" for strings. Based on @Email, can be "email" or "idn-email" depending on whether JavaxValidationOption.PREFER_IDN_EMAIL_FORMAT is being provided in constructor.
6. Populate "pattern" for strings. Based on @Pattern/@Email, when corresponding JavaxValidationOption.INCLUDE_PATTERN_EXPRESSIONS is being provided in constructor.
7. Populate "minimum"/"exclusiveMinimum" for numbers. Based on @Min/@DecimalMin/@Positive/@PositiveOrZero
8. Populate "maximum"/"exclusiveMaximum" for numbers. Based on @Max/@DecimalMax/@Negative/@NegativeOrZero

Schema attributes derived from validation annotations on fields are also applied to their respective getter methods.
Schema attributes derived from validation annotations on getter methods are also applied to their associated fields.

Usage

Dependency (Maven)

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.victools</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsonschema-module-javax-validation</artifactId>
    <version>[4.21.0,5.0.0)</version>
</dependency>

Since version 4.7, the release versions of the main generator library and this module are aligned. It is recommended to use identical versions for both dependencies to ensure compatibility.

Code

Passing into SchemaGeneratorConfigBuilder.with(Module)

import com.github.victools.jsonschema.generator.SchemaGeneratorConfigBuilder;
import com.github.victools.jsonschema.generator.SchemaVersion;
import com.github.victools.jsonschema.module.javax.validation.JavaxValidationModule;

JavaxValidationModule module = new JavaxValidationModule();
SchemaGeneratorConfigBuilder configBuilder = new SchemaGeneratorConfigBuilder(SchemaVersion.DRAFT_2019_09)
    .with(module);

Complete Example

JavaxValidationModule module = new JavaxValidationModule(JavaxValidationOption.INCLUDE_PATTERN_EXPRESSIONS);
SchemaGeneratorConfigBuilder configBuilder = new SchemaGeneratorConfigBuilder(SchemaVersion.DRAFT_2019_09, OptionPreset.PLAIN_JSON)
    .with(module);
SchemaGeneratorConfig config = configBuilder.build();
SchemaGenerator generator = new SchemaGenerator(config);
JsonNode jsonSchema = generator.generateSchema(YourClass.class);

System.out.println(jsonSchema.toString());
