URI and JSON Pointer Handling

Use the RFC 6901-compliant utilities from @openapi-lsp/core for all URI/URL and JSON Pointer operations.

Import

import {
  parseJsonPointer,
  parseUriWithJsonPointer,
  isLocalPointer,
  uriWithJsonPointerLoose,
  isNodeInDocument,
} from "@openapi-lsp/core/json-pointer";

Utilities

parseJsonPointer(pointer: string)

Parse JSON Pointer strings per RFC 6901. Handles raw ("/foo/bar") and URI fragments ("#/foo/bar").

parseUriWithJsonPointer(uri: string, baseUri?: string)

Parse full URI references, separating URL and fragment into { url, docUri, jsonPointer }.

isLocalPointer(ref: string)

Check if a $ref is local (starts with #).

uriWithJsonPointerLoose(uri: string, path: JsonPointerLoose)

Build URI references with properly encoded JSON Pointer fragments.

isNodeInDocument(nodeId: string, documentUri: string)

Check if a nodeId belongs to a document:

isNodeInDocument("file:///foo.yaml", "file:///foo.yaml");       // true (root)
isNodeInDocument("file:///foo.yaml#/User", "file:///foo.yaml"); // true (fragment)
isNodeInDocument("file:///bar.yaml#/User", "file:///foo.yaml"); // false

Key Rules

1. Always use these utilities - Never manually parse URI/JSON Pointer strings
2. Check Result types - Use result.success before accessing result.data
3. Provide baseUri for relative refs - parseUriWithJsonPointer(ref, baseUri)
4. Use isNodeInDocument for membership checks - Don't use startsWith(uri + "#")
