1530465 - Add support for arbitrary JSON to the schema validator

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Enterprise Policies, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

In order to support chrome.storage.managed and other features, the policy engine needs to support arbitrary JSON in policies.

But on Windows, GPO can't do arbitrary JSON, so things will be specified as strings (same as Chrome).

So this new support will introduce a new type called JSON that either parses a string or uses the specified object.

    "[e-mail]": {
      "policy": "{\"url_list\": [\"mike.kaply.com\"]}"
    }

or

    "[e-mail]": {
      "policy": {
        "url_list": ["mike.kaply.com"]
      }
    }

Will both work for:

          "properties": {
            "policy" : {
              "type": ["JSON"]
            }
          }

Nope. We have automated testing to cover this. It's an internal thing.
