Note: If you have not installed node and npm. Please follow instructions at below site to install node and npm
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node#installing-npm-from-the-nodejs-site

Usage: Command Line

//go to the bin folder of jsontron module

$ cd $JSONTRON_ROOT/bin
 
//run JSONValidator with instance doc, rules doc and optional phase list
//#ALL and #DEFAULT are special key words meant to invoke all or default phases respectively


$ node JSONValidator -i {instance doc} -r { rules doc} [#ALL | #DEFAULT | Phase List] [-d]

where:
 i is json instance document to be validated
 r is rules file
 #ALL | #DEFAULT | Phase list  specifies the phase (s)
 d is to enable debug
 
 //alternatively you can set an environment variable for JSONValidator like below
 //in Windows
 
 $ set JSONValidator = $JSONTRON_ROOT/bin/JSONValidator
 

//example
$ cd ../node_modules/jsontron/data/dissertation/phase

$ node %JSONValidator% -i loandata.json -r loandat-rulees_dissertation_singlePhase.json

              }
            ]              
      }]}]}};
      
      
//without phase
var myReport = jsontron.JSONTRON.validate(myInstance, myRules);
var valid = myReport.valid;

//with phase
var myReport = jsontron.JSONTRON.validate(myInstance, myRules, ['phaseid1']);
var valid = myReport.valid;
[Note: the phase(s) have to be in array format like ['phaseid1'] or ['phaseid2'] or ['phaseid1', 'phaseid2'] or ['#DEFAULT']   ]

Examples: Using IBM Examples from Command Line

//IBM Schematron examples translated from XML to JSON are bundled with the module in data/ibm-test-suite folder

// Below is an example using IBM Example 3.1
$cd $JSONTRON_ROOT\data\ibm-test-suite\3.1

$ node JSONValidator -i eg3_1_good1.json -r eg3_1-rules.json
