Validate JSON file

When to use this

Use this path when your payload file is JSON (not YAML).

Steps

1. Place the JSON payload on disk.
2. Place the schema file on disk (.json, .yml, or .yaml).
3. Execute the effect:

validate json "plugins/Schema-Validator/data/player.json" using schema "plugins/Schema-Validator/schemas/player.schema.json"
set {_errors::*} to last schema validation errors

1. Branch by result size:

if size of {_errors::*} is 0:
    broadcast "Validation passed"
else:
    loop {_errors::*}:
        broadcast "- %loop-value%"

Operational notes

• Pattern index in EffValidateData.init() controls YAML vs JSON mode.
• Data loading is delegated to DataFileLoader.load(path, yamlMode).
• Current loader deserializes JSON root as Map<String, Object> in this Skript path.
