An // underlying low-level SchemaProxy backs this high-level one. // // Why use a Proxy design? // // There are three reasons. // // 1. Circular References and Endless Loops. // // JSON Schema allows for references to be used. This means references can loop around and create infinite recursive // structures, These 'Circular references' technically mean a schema can NEVER be resolved, not without breaking the // loop somewhere along the chain. // // Polymorphism in the form of 'oneOf' and 'anyOf' in version 3+ only exacerbates the problem. // // These circular traps can be discovered using the resolver, however it's still not enough to stop endless loops and // endless goroutine spawning. A proxy design means that resolving occurs on demand and runs down a single level only. // preventing any run-away loops. // // 2. Performance // // Even without circular references, Polymorphism creates large additional resolving chains that take a long time // and slow things down when building. By preventing recursion through every polymorphic item, building models is kept // fast and snappy, which is desired for realtime processing of specs. // // - Q: Yeah, but, why not just use state to avoiding re-visiting seen polymorphic nodes? // - A: It's slow, takes up memory and still has runaway potential in very, very long chains. // // 3. Short Circuit Errors. // // Schemas are where things can get messy, mainly because the Schema standard changes between versions, and // it's not actually JSONSchema until 3.1, so lots of times a bad schema will break parsing. Errors are only found // when a schema is needed, so the rest of the document is parsed and ready to use. type SchemaProxy struct { schema *low.NodeReference[*base.SchemaProxy] buildError error } // NewSchemaProxy creates a new high-level SchemaProxy from a low-level one. func NewSchemaProxy(schema *low.NodeReference[*base.SchemaProxy]) *SchemaProxy { return &SchemaProxy{schema: schema} } // Schema will create a new Schema instance using NewSchema from the low-level SchemaProxy backing this high-level one. // If there is a problem building the Schema, then this method will return nil.
