        ===========
        
        A general purpose Python data validator.
        
        Schema format based on JSON Schema Proposal (http://json-schema.org)
        
        Contains code derived from jsonschema, by Ian Lewis and Yusuke Muraoka.
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        JSON documents and schema must first be loaded into a Python dictionary type
        before it can be validated.
        
        Parsing a simple JSON document::
        
            >>> import validictory
            >>>
            >>> validictory.validate("simplejson", {"type":"string"})
        
        Parsing a more complex JSON document::
        
            >>> import simplejson
            >>> import validictory
            >>>
            >>> data = simplejson.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')
            >>> schema = {
            ...   "type":"array",
            ...   "items":[
            ...     {"type":"string"},
            ...     {"type":"object",
            ...      "properties":{
            ...        "bar":{
            ...          "items":[
            ...            {"type":"string"},
            ...            {"type":"any"},
            ...            {"type":"number"},
            ...            {"type":"integer"}
            ...          ]
            ...        }
            ...      }
            ...    }
            ...   ]
            ... }
            >>> validictory.validate(data,schema)
        
        Catch ValueErrors to handle validation issues::
        
            >>> import validictory
            >>>
            >>> try:
            ...     validictory.validate("simplejson", {"type":"string","minLength":15})
            ... except ValueError, error:
            ...     print error
            ...
            Length of value 'simplejson' for field '_data' must be greater than or equal to 15
