Having a custom section in my package.json file is something I'm currently working with. Here's an example structure:
{
"name": "foo",
"version": "0.0.1",
"dependencies": { ... },
"mySection": { ... }
}
Retrieving the data from this custom section is straightforward: Just require the package.json file and access the mySection property.
Now, I am looking for ways to validate this section: Ensuring that mandatory keys exist, assigning default values to optional ones, checking data types, etc.
Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
Note: I've heard about using JSON schemas for validation, but I find them a bit cumbersome to work with for many cases.
