  - ### Method Detail

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals​(Object o)

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`

    - #### getDelegate

          public Validator getDelegate()

    - #### create

          public 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(io.vertx.rxjava.json.schema.JsonSchema)`} 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

    - #### create

          public static Validator create​(JsonSchema schema,
                                         JsonSchemaOptions options,
                                         JsonFormatValidator jsonFormatValidator)

      Creates a new validator with some initial schema, options and a custom JSON format validator. When validation is to be reused, it is recommended to create a `SchemaRepository` instance and use the `SchemaRepository.validator(io.vertx.rxjava.json.schema.JsonSchema)`} 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

          public OutputUnit validate​(Object instance)

      Validate a given input against the initial schema.
      Parameters:
        `instance` - instance to validate
      Returns:
        returns a output unit object as defined by the options

    - #### newInstance
