- - ### Method Detail

    - #### create

          static Validator create(JsonSchema schema,
                                  JsonSchemaOptions options)

      Creates a new validator with some initial schema and options. When validation is to be reused, it is recommended to create a `SchemaRepository` instance and use the `SchemaRepository.validator(String)`} method. The use of a `String` key allows avoiding re-parsing and fast lookups.
      Parameters:
        `schema` - the initial schema
        `options` - the validator options
      Returns:
        a validator instance

    - #### validate

          OutputUnit validate(Object instance)
                       throws SchemaException

      Validate a given input against the initial schema
      Parameters:
        `instance` - instance to validate
      Returns:
        returns a output unit object as defined by the options
      Throws:
        `SchemaException` - if the validation cannot complete, for example when a reference is missing.
