test-json:tldr:805fb

test-json: Test if a string from stdin matches a specific schema file.
$ '${string}' | Test-Json -SchemaFile ${path\to\schema_file-json}

This command is written in PowerShell and consists of a pipe (|) character that connects two different commands together. Let's break it down:

  1. '${string}': This is a placeholder for a string value. It is enclosed within single quotes and needs to be replaced with an actual string.

  2. '|' (Pipe): This is a pipe character in PowerShell used to pass the output of the command on the left side to the command on the right side. It basically streams the output as input to the next command.

  3. Test-Json: This is a PowerShell cmdlet or commandlet that is being used in this command. It is used to test if a given string or file content is valid JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).

  4. -SchemaFile: It is a parameter of the Test-Json cmdlet used to specify the path to the JSON schema file against which the input JSON should be validated.

  5. ${path\to\schema_file-json}: This is a placeholder that refers to the path of the JSON schema file. It needs to be replaced with the actual path, including the name of the file with the .json extension.

So, in summary, the command takes a string value (which needs to be replaced) and passes it to the Test-Json cmdlet along with a JSON schema file. The Test-Json cmdlet then checks if the provided string is a valid JSON according to the specified schema.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
