Interface RequestValidator

public interface RequestValidator
The RequestValidator requires the parameters in a specific format to be able to parse and validate them. This is especially true for exploded parameters. The following table shows how the value of a parameter of a request must be stored in a ValidatableRequest object. For these examples the key of those values is always color.

These are the initial values for each type:
  • primitive (string) -> "blue"
  • array -> ["blue","black","brown"]
  • object -> { "R": 100, "G": 200, "B": 150 }
