## Class CheckInput

`new CheckInput(definition, options)`

Creates a new JSON Schema validation class to validate a data object according to a JSON Schema . Many thanks to epoberezkin/JSON-Schema-Test-Suite for providing a cool test suite . I use it to check my implementation This is not ( yet ) a complete implementation . The following tests are not running yet :

- remote-refs ( neither local nor remote )
- unicode-code-points ( EmacsScript length is used to get the lengt of a string ) definitions

### Example

```javascript
check = new CheckInput({
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
      topic: { type: 'string' },
      value: { type: 'string' },
  },
  required: ['topic', 'value']
})
// returns true, as the parameter fits to the descriptions
check.validate({ topic: '/a/b', value: 'on' })

// returns false and fills the error message
// check.message is { topic: 'missing property topic', value: 'missing property value' }
check.validate ( {} )

// Throws an Error, as the validation does not fits to the description
check.throwOnValidationError({ topic: '/a/b' })

// Prints the error message
console.log(check.messages)
