JSON Schema compatibility status

Features not listed below are supported by Svarog. If you find this list incomplete, please open an issue.

In development

Features on this list are not currently supported, but planned for the future releases. $ref has a limited functionality at this point, powering only Firestore-specific data types.

Type	Features
object	dependencies
other	$ref

Under consideration

JSON Schema features listed below may be implemented in future releases, but aren't a priority at the moment.

Type	Features
string	format
other	oneOf, if, then, else

Not planned

Functionality that can't be implemented in CEL or doesn't belong in Security Rules for one reason or another.

Type	Features
array	List validation, uniqueItems - arrays of arbitrary length are hard to validate in Firestore rules because CEL doesn't provide a way of iterating through the list (something like .every() in js).
object	propertyNames, patternProperties - such assertions would ultimately require the same capabities as described above, which doesn't seem possible at the moment.
media	contentMediaType, contentEncoding - while it could be possible to add support for these keys, it's hard to imagine a good use case for them in Cloud Firestore.
