LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) Software Repository - README
========================================================
The LOFAR repository contains some of the software packages to operate
the LOFAR radio telescope and process its measurement output.
LOFAR is operated by ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy.
For more information, see http://www.astron.nl/ and http://www.lofar.org/
Source code is available at https://svn.astron.nl/LOFAR

TMSS-173: simplified validation of json_strings against schema's. The original design (proof-of-concept) had the validation in the Subtask class, and the suggestion/goal of this ticket TMSS-173 was to change that into a reusable mixin. Using a mixin is certainly possible, and the 1st implementation in this ticket was a good start, but it also showed that the whole class/mixin based approach requires too much administration (keeping track of which fields to use). This new solution with just a validation method is far simpler, and just as reusable.
