Namespace Aware Data Validator and Pre-processor

Project under construction! Not a running code base yet!

Introduction

nadap can validate and pre-process a given data structure. Data can be one single data object or many objects, which are validated and pre-processed one by one.

Validation means

• checking if given data structure matches the defined data schema,
• checking if given data values matches the defined data types and values or value ranges, and
• checking if given data values reference correctly to each other.

Referencing can check if a value at a point in the data structure is unique (i.e. ID) and/or if a value is defined (produced) at a point in the data structure, when it is used (consumed) at another point in the data structure. At a producing point in the data structure the reference may be defined with credits. A consuming point in the data structure can also be defined with credits. If so, each value, which is produced adds credits to that value, and each value, which is consumed subtracts credits from that value. Produced credits must be more or evan to consumed credits.

Pre-processing provides the option to add default values to the data structure while validating it. Thus, it can substitute the default value handling within the application code.
