Schema for non "object" types #29

Closed alfredodeza closed 12 years ago

alfredodeza commented 12 years ago

I am trying to create a schema that will validate something like:

{"string": 1}

Or:

{1: "string"}

But I could not find any examples on how to achieve that, since "string" is just accepting any kind of string really, but it needs to make sure it has an integer as a value. I am sure there are other combinations that I am not looking into but again, I could not find anything in the docs regarding this specific scenario.

Is this actually possible?

sorry, {1: "string"} isn't valid JSON so no it cannot be validated

Probably a bad example :)

But you didn't addressed it the other way around:

{"string": 1}

Which is perfectly valid JSON. Could you please let me know if there is any way this can be accomplished with Validictory as I couldn't find any examples on how to achieve this reading the documentation?
