,allOf
,anyOf
, andnot
These are not supported at the moment (PRs welcome!):

- Array items at specific index (for example, first item must be a string and second must be an integer)
- Property dependencies
- Examples
- Media
- Conditional subschemas
References from inside a schema and to schemas in other files are supported (for example { $ref: "#/definitions/something" }
will be replaced by the
content of schema["definitions"]["something"]
).
Development
Testing
Just run tox
tox
Generating doc
The documentation is generated using jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages
- Change your current working directory to
docs
- Run
python generate_examples.py
. This will get all examples fromtests/cases
, render the resulting HTML and include it in the appropriate folders in the jekyll site. - If you have added an example, add the file name (without
.json
), the display name and description in_data/examples.yaml
