details

  my $error     = $error->details(["generic", "generic"]);
  my $error     = $error->details([qw(array type object)]);
  my $error     = $error->details([qw(format date-time Invalid)]);
  my $array_ref = $error->details;

Details about the error:

1.

Often the category of tests that was run. Example values: allOf, anyOf, array, const, enum, format, integer, not, null, number, object, oneOf and string.

2.

Often the test that failed. Example values: additionalItems, additionalProperties, const, enum, maxItems, maxLength, maxProperties, maximum, minItems, minLength. minProperties, minimum, multipleOf, not, null, pattern, required, type and uniqueItems,

3.

The rest of the list contains parameters for the test that failed. It can be a plain human-readable string or numbers indicating things such as max/min values.

message

  my $str = $error->message;

A human readable description of the error. Defaults to being being constructed from "details". See the $MESSAGES variable in the source code for more details.

As an EXPERIMENTAL hack you can localize $JSON::Validator::Error::MESSAGES to get i18n support. Example:

  sub validate_i18n {
    local $JSON::Validator::Error::MESSAGES = {
      allOf => {type => '/allOf Forventet %3 - fikk %4.'},
    };

    my @error_norwegian = $jv->validate({age => 42});
  }

Note that the error messages might contain a mix of English and the local language. Run some tests to see how it looks.

path

  my $str = $error->path;

A JSON pointer to where the error occurred. Defaults to "/".

new

  my $error = JSON::Validator::Error->new(\%attributes);
  my $error = JSON::Validator::Error->new($path, \@details);
  my $error = JSON::Validator::Error->new($path, \@details);

Object constructor.

to_string

  my $str = $error->to_string;

Returns the "path" and "message" part as a string: "$path: $message".

bool

  my $bool = !!$error;

Always true.

stringify

  my $str = "$error";

Alias for "to_string".
