Github Action: Validate JSON

A GitHub Action that validates JSON files based on a JSON Schema.

This project uses ajv, fast JSON schema validator, to perform the validation.

Usage

Inputs

• schema: A relative file path under the repository or a URL of a JSON schema file to validate the other JSON files with. Default is: ./schema.json.
• jsons: One or more relative file paths under the repository of the JSON files to validate with the schema provided.
• separator: The separator that is used on jsons to separate each file. Default is \n.

Outputs

• invalid: One or more of relative file paths of the invalid JSON files, found in the repository (seperated by newline).
