    'json_schema' => 'booking.json', // under json_schema_dir
    'json_message' => 'booking.json', // under json_message_dir
));

// check $validation_result->isValid() to see if validation pass or fail

####json-schema/booking.json See json-schema for more details.

This is your json schema containing constraints/rules

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "first_name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true,
      "maxLength": 100
    },
    "last_name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true,
      "maxLength": 100
    }
  }
}

####json-message/booking.json You can specify your own custom error messages.

{
  "first_name": {
    "label": "First name",
    "messages": {
      "required": "{{ label }} is required.",
      "maxLength": "{{ label }} must not be more than {{ schema.maxLength }} characters long."
    }
  },
  "last_name": {
    "label": "Last name",
    "messages": {
      "required": "{{ label }} is required.",
      "maxLength": "{{ label }} must not be more than {{ schema.maxLength }} characters long."
    }
  }
}

####json-message/default.json You can specify global default error messages (e.g.: not per field but per constraint rule type)

{
  "messages": {
    "required": "Required field.",
    "minLength": "Must be {{ schema.minLength }} chars or more.",
    "maxLength": "Must not be more than {{ schema.maxLength }} chars.",
    "pattern": "Incorrect format"
  }
}
