tJSONValidator Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tJSONValidator running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard tJSONValidator component belongs to the Data Quality family.

Basic settings

Properties Description

Schema and Edit Schema

  • A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

    Click Sync columns to retrieve the schema from the previous component connected in the Job.

    Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

    • View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.

    • Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

    • Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion.

      If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

  • Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component only.

  • Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.
Allocate Define the schema against which the data of each column must be validated.

The schema can be a local file or a HTTP protocol.

Die on error

Select the checkbox to stop the execution of the Job when an error occurs.

Clear the checkbox to skip any error and continue the Job execution process.

Advanced settings

Properties Description

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at the Job level as well as at each component level.
Set JSON schema draft version when it's not defined in the schema file

Starting with the 8.0.1-R2026-08 Talend Studio monthly, the component automatically detects the draft version from the $schema declaration in the JSON schema when the declaration is available and supported. Select the checkbox to use the JSON schema draft version dropdown list when $schema is missing or empty, or when its value is unsupported. Existing Jobs without a $schema declaration continue to use the selected draft version.

For more information, see json-schema.org.
JSON schema file encoding Select the encoding from the drop-down list.
Custom encoding This option is available when Other is selected as JSON schema file encoding.

Enter the encoding name.
