No-operation implementation (never throws {always returns Optional.absent()).

Method Detail

validate

com.google.common.base.Optional<String> validate(String subject)

Implementation-specific validation of subject. If a validation error occurs then implementations should return a programmer-friendly error message as a String wrapped in an Optional. If the validation succeeded then an empty optional should be returned.

Parameters:

subject - the string to be validated

Returns:

an Optional wrapping the error message if a validation error occured, otherwise an empty optional.

formatName

String formatName()

Provides the name of this format.

Unless specified otherwise the SchemaLoader will use this name to recognize string schemas using this format.

The default implementation of this method returns "unnamed-format". It is strongly recommended for implementations to give a more meaningful name by overriding this method.

Returns:

the format name.
