When doing schema validation, it is useful to know what went wrong in a very easy way. For example if you have the schema:
field:
type: string
required: true
But you do not pass this field, you would see that the validation has failed. It would be extremely hard to know why the validation failed. Was it because the type was invalid or the field was missing all together? Currently, if you wanted to know you would have to parse the error messages:
Instance does not have required property \"" + key + "\"" <--- Required but missing
"Instance type " + instanceType + " is invalid. Expected " + schema.get("type") <--- The type is invalid
I think adding a new Enum valid to describe the error type would be extremely helpful.
Use cases
Since the program knows why the validation failed, it can gracefully catch the exception and pass that on to the end user in a cleaner fashion.
