JSONValidation (JSON Validation 1.5 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.pwall.json.validation.JSONValidation

```
public class JSONValidation
extends Object
```
Static functions to perform validations for JSON Schema format types. The requirements are taken from the JSON Schema Validation specification. Also included are isLeapYear(int) and monthLength(int, int) functions; these are required for date checking and it costs nothing to make them available for general use.

    Determine whether a given year is a leap year (only meaningful for years covered by the Gregorian calendar).
    
    Parameters:
    
    year - the year
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the year is a leap year

  - isDateTime
```
public static boolean isDateTime(String string)

    true if the string is correct
  - isDate
```
public static boolean isDate(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the date format type. A string is valid if it conforms to the "full-date" production in RFC 3339, section 5.6.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isTime

public static boolean isTime(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the time format type. A string is valid if it conforms to the "full-time" production in RFC 3339, section 5.6.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isDuration
```
public static boolean isDuration(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the duration format type. A string is valid if it conforms to the "duration" production in RFC 3339, Appendix A.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isURI
```
public static boolean isURI(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the uri format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 3986.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isURIReference
```
public static boolean isURIReference(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the uri-reference format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 3986 (either a URI or a relative-reference).
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isUUID
```
public static boolean isUUID(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the uuid format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 4122.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isHostname
```
public static boolean isHostname(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the hostname format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 1123, section 2.1.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isEmail
```
public static boolean isEmail(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the email format type.
    Validation of email addresses is difficult, largely because the specification in RFC 5322 makes reference to earlier "obsolete" forms of email addresses that are expected to be accepted as valid. This function does not attempt to cover the entire range of obsolete addresses; instead, it implements a form of validation derived from the regular expression at the web site emailregex.com for the "local-part" (the addressee or mailbox name), and it uses the hostname validation from RFC 1123 for the "domain".
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isIPV4
```
public static boolean isIPV4(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the ipv4 format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 2673, section 3.2.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isIPV6
```
public static boolean isIPV6(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the ipv6 format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 4291, section 2.2.
    NOTE: The JSON Schema Validation specification says (§ 7.3.4) that a string conforming to the ipv6 format must be an "IPv6 address as defined in RFC 4291, section 2.2". Subsequent to RFC 4291, RFC 5952 recommended stricter restrictions on the representation of IPV6 addresses, including mandating the use of lower case for all alpha characters, and prohibiting the use of "::" to compress a single zero 16-bit field. Because the JSON Schema Validation specification refers only to RFC 4291, not RFC 5952, this function does not implement the stricter restrictions of the later document.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isJSONPointer
```
public static boolean isJSONPointer(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the json-pointer format type. A string is valid if it conforms to RFC 6901, section 5.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isRelativeJSONPointer
```
public static boolean isRelativeJSONPointer(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the relative-json-pointer format type. A string is valid if it conforms to Relative JSON Pointers.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
  - isRegex
```
public static boolean isRegex(String string)
```
    Test for conformity to the regex format type. A string is valid if it conforms to ECMA 262 regular expression dialect. Since the Java Pattern class used here implements a dialect very close to, but not identical to the ECMA 262 variant, it is possible that in rare cases there may be subtle inconsistencies in the results of this function.
    
    Parameters:
    
    string - the string to be tested
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the string is correct
