# JequalSON
[](https://travis-ci.org/dm1try/jequalson)
## Usage
For example, lets check that a first user in twitter response matches a provided schema:
```elixir
  # assume that you use Poison to parse responses
  response = Poison.Parser.parse!(twitter_response)
  JequalSON.match? response, "statuses[0].user", %{
    name: "Sean Cummings",
    id_str: :string,
    followers_count: :integer,
    entities: %{
      url: :object
    }
  }
```
See specs for more examples.
## Path
Path can include specific characters for collections:
 __*__ - means **all**,
 __?__ - means **any**
```elixir
  # all statuses
  JequalSON.match? response, "statuses[*]", %{...}
  # any of statuses
  JequalSON.match? response, "statuses[?]", %{...}
```
## Schema
Matching can be done for a value ifself or for its type. Also you can define own matching function.
```elixir
    hex_color = fn(v)->
      Regex.match?(~r/^[A-F0-9]{6}$/, v)
        or {:failure, "#{v} is not hex a color"}
    end
    JequalSON.match? response, "statuses[0].user", %{
        name: "Sean Cummings",
        id_str: :string, # use the atom to specify a type
        profile_background_color: hex_color # use the func defined above
      }
```
## Installation
  1. Add JequalSON to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
        def deps do
          [{:jequalson, "~> 0.1"}]
        end
