Decimal precision in JSON Schema

I want to have my JSON Schema validate that no more than two decimal places are sent to my REST API.

From what I can see in the latest JSON Schema RFC (v4) doesn't allow this. V1 had a maxDecimals validator.

Does anyone know why that was taken out?

I have a field that only holds two decimals when I store it in the database, and I do not just want to round down to two decimals. That would be changing the input quite dramatically for some users. So I want to reject any greater precision and force them to round themselves.

I can of course do this using a custom validator that I write myself, but I would rather not unless I have to.

Is there another way of indicating this in v4?

Thanks

Solution

  • They replaced it with multipleOf (via v3 divisibleBy).

    For 2 decimal places, just add multipleOf: 0.01.
