I am running into more children objects that are not validating correctly (object.actor, object.verb, object.object). I tried looking for any empty schema after changing my if/then structures in the object schema to if/then/else adding the false value for each else. I did not find anything obvious.
JSON -Should fail but doesn't
{
"actor": {
"objectType": "Agent",
"name": "xAPI account",
"mbox": "mailto:[email protected]"
},
"verb": {
"id": "http://adlnet.gov/expapi/verbs/attended",
"display": {
"en-GB": "attended",
"en-US": "attended"
}
},
"object": {
"objectType": "SubStatement",

"object": {

}
JSON - Fails at the root level only; substatement values are not checked. assuming empty schema coming from somewhere.

In "$id": "#object" > oneOf > then, you define allOf twice in that JSON object.
The behaviour of duplicate keys in JSON is undefined. Often the way it's handled is just to take the last occurrence of each key for an object.
You can see this working by having the following schema and an empty object instance: {}
Schema :
{
"allOf": [
false
],
"allOf": [
true
]
}
The JSON library will likely ignore the first allOf, taking the last occurrence, resulting in allways pass validation. Swap the true and false to double confirm.
Any time you've used a specific *of keyword more than once in the same object in the schema (or any key more than once in an object), you'll need to fix it.
