JSON validation schema of type "array" not supported

[johnaohara]

currently a json schema defined for a horreum schema can not be of type "array".
e.g. with the following JSON validation schema

{
  "$id": "urn:boot-time-verbose:01",
  "type": "array",
  "items": [
    {
      "type": "object",
      "required": [
        "date",
        "sample",
...

Uploading a json document such as;

[
  {
    "date": "2023-09-18T13:02:00.951793Z",
    "sample": 1,
...
  }
]

results in a schema validation error: $: object found, array expected

This error occurs due to processing the run data during import, imported data of type Array are iterated and the schema is added to each object in the array, rather than the entire array being treated as the the run data

Horreum should either;

• explicitly state that it does not support json schemas where the root element is an array type, amd display a warning/error when the json schema is defined.

or

• support all valid json schemas and handle arrays accordingly

This can be worked around by wrapping the array in an Object type, so I think is low priority.

But as it is Horreum does not support valid JSON schema's if the root element type is "array" due to the way the data is imported
