//==============================================================================
// This class implements a subset of JSON Schema.
// See: http://www.json.com/json-schema-proposal/ for more details.
//
// There is also an older JavaScript implementation of the same functionality in
// chrome/renderer/resources/json_schema.js.
//
// The following features of JSON Schema are not implemented:
// - requires
// - unique
// - disallow
// - union types (but replaced with 'choices')
// - number.maxDecimal
//
// The following properties are not applicable to the interface exposed by
// this class:
// - options
// - readonly
// - title
// - description
// - format
// - default
// - transient
// - hidden
//
// There are also these departures from the JSON Schema proposal:
// - null counts as 'unspecified' for optional values
// - added the 'choices' property, to allow specifying a list of possible types
//   for a value
// - by default an "object" typed schema does not allow additional properties.
//   if present, "additionalProperties" is to be a schema against which all
//   additional properties will be validated.
// - regular expression supports all syntaxes that re2 accepts.
//   See https://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax for details.
