Validation module

This module contains the Validator class for validating various types of parameters. Each method takes a parameter name, a value, and optional keyword arguments. The functions raise the ParameterValidationError error if the parameter value is invalid.

The validation functions return the provided value in its validated type.

Example:

validator = ParameterValidator(siemplify) # siemplify SDK object 

validated_value = validator.validate_float(param_name='something', value='3.7') print(validated_value) # 3.7 as float

validated_value = validator.validate_int(param_name='something', validated_value) print(validated_value) # 3 as integer

class TIPCommon.validation.ParameterValidator

class TIPCommon.validation.ParameterValidator(siemplify)
