Description Angelo ZERR CLA Friend 2016-05-20 04:27:15 EDT 
It's a very big task, but it should be fantastic if WTP Validator could validate JSON file by using JSON Schema.

To do that:

 * JSONSchemaDocument should support the full specification of JSON Schema.
 * minimal-json should be improved to collect line, column or perhaps we could use IJSONDocument to validate it with JSON Schema.

The patch includes the following:

- a new preference - Window>Preferences>JSON>JSON Files>Validation>Enable Schema Validation

The preference is false by default because this is a big change that could break the workspace.

- a schema validation can be declared by adding the '$schema' property.
You can, for instance, create a schema file as follows: 

{
    "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#",
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "test": {}
    },
    "patternProperties": {
        "^(/[^/]+)+$": {}
    },
    "additionalProperties": false,
    "required": [ "test" ]
}

and use it in the following way:

{
	"$schema": "file:///C:/Users/Snjeza/test.json",
	"test":{}
}

- validate the schema according to http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html
