Could someone tell me JSON Schema Validation for accepting date of YYYY-MM-DD format alone?
My sample JSON:
{"data1" : "foo", "date" :"2016-11-24"}
JSON Schema already have defined format for date, time, datetime, email, hostname, IP address. You can prefer this easier and recommended method rather than writing your own regex.
"date": {
"type": "string",
"format": "date"
}
Date and time format names are derived from RFC 3339, section 5.6 [RFC3339].
Reference: http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-validation.html#rfc.section.7.3
add regex to json schema in schema use the following.
{
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^\d{4}\-(0?[1-9]|1[012])\-(0?[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])$"
}
Use below solution ... it should work good for all dates in YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD format. It validated leap year and restricts dates in month of Feb as well.
{
"type": "string",
"pattern": "(((19|20)([2468][048]|[13579][26]|0[48])|2000)[/-]02[/-]29|((19|20)[0-9]{2}[/-](0[469]|11)[/-](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|30)|(19|20)[0-9]{2}[/-](0[13578]|1[02])[/-](0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])|(19|20)[0-9]{2}[/-]02[/-](0[1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-8])))"
}
