Katydid is a validation language. validator-go is a validator for Katydid in Go.

Katydid consists of:

• A validator: a regular expression type language for serialized data that matches up to 1000000s of records per second,
• A collection of parsers (protobuf, json, xml, reflected go structures, yaml) which are easily extendable.

Usage Example

package main

import (
  "github.com/katydid/validator-go/validator"
  "github.com/katydid/parser-go-json/json"
)

func main() {
  data := json.NewJSONParser()
  err := data.Init([]byte(`
    {
      "WhatsUp": "E",
      "DragonsExist": false,
      "MonkeysSmart": true
    }`))
  ...
  ast, err := validator.Parse(".WhatsUp == "E")
  ...
  // creates memoizing validator that increases in speed the more it is used.
  mem, err := validator.Prepare(ast)
  ...
  valid, err := validator.Validate(mem, data)
  ...
  if valid {
    fmt.Printf("the serailized json contains a field WhatsUp with a value E\n")
  }
}
