Creating a Schema instance from a string

[ballcoach12]

I have the following string that defines a simple schema:

{
		"type": "object",
		"properties": {
			"a": {
				"type": "object",
				"properties": {
					"name": {
						"type": "string"
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

When I validate the following JSON:

{"a": {"name": "John"}}

I get the following error:

invalid jsonType []uint8

I'm not an expert with JsonSchema, but I don't see anything invalid here. And online validators show this to be passing. Am I missing something?

you have to do json unmarshal the json string, to add as resource.

doc, err := jsonschema.UnMarshalJSON(strings.NewReader(`{
"type": "object",
		"properties": {
			"a": {
				"type": "object",
				"properties": {
					"name": {
						"type": "string"
					}
				}
			}
		}
}`)

if err!=nil {
    panic(err)
}

c := jsonschema.NewCompiler()
if err := c.AddResource("schema.json", doc); err!=nil {
    panic(err)
}

sch, err := c.Compile("schema.json")
