node-blaze

Very simple Node.js bindings to https://github.com/sourcemeta/blaze - ultra high-performance C++ JSON Schema validator.

Example usage

Install

npm i node-blaze

Usage

import { Blaze } from "node-blaze";

const blaze = new Blaze();
const validateFn = blaze.compile({
  type: "number",
});
const result = validateFn("1234");
console.log(result); // false

Performance

In my simple (and probably very naive) npm run benchmark it seems that node-blaze is slower than ajv probably because of that currently data through node <-> blaze is passed in very no optimal way. This will be improved. Also Ajv itself is very fast:
