angular-ui-form-validation/app/scripts/JSOL/jsol.js

A plugin for performing validation in angularjs without writing lots of boilerplate code or duplicating logic.

//jshint ignore:start
(function(self) {
  /**
   JSOL stands for JavaScript Object Literal which is a string representing
   an object in JavaScript syntax.

   For example:

   {foo:"bar"} is equivalent to {"foo":"bar"} in JavaScript. Both are valid JSOL.

   Note that {"foo":"bar"} is proper JSON[1] therefore you can use one of the many
   JSON parsers out there like json2.js[2] or even the native browser's JSON parser,
   if available.

   However, {foo:"bar"} is NOT proper JSON but valid Javascript syntax for
   representing an object with one key, "foo" and its value, "bar".
   Using a JSON parser is not an option since this is NOT proper JSON.

   You can use JSOL.parse to safely parse any string that reprsents a JavaScript Object Literal.
   JSOL.parse will throw an Invalid JSOL exception on function calls, function declarations and variable references.

   Examples:

   JSOL.parse('{foo:"bar"}');  // valid

   JSOL.parse('{evil:(function(){alert("I\'m evil");})()}');  // invalid function calls

   JSOL.parse('{fn:function() { }}'); // invalid function declarations

   var bar = "bar";
   JSOL.parse('{foo:bar}');  // invalid variable references
