Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing openapi-core's existing request/response validation interfaces and how a URL, JSON blob, and OpenAPI definition are represented; done should mean a clearly specified way to validate JSON loaded from a file, covered by focused tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

kind/enhancement
Suggested Behavior

I am using JSON files to provide JSON blobs that get passed to internal methods but I want to make sure that when people extend this process, the JSON they provide really is correct according to the Swager definition. Could there be, or is there already, some way to use this library to do this, possibly by somehow Mocking up something with perhaps a request/response, URL and JSON blob inputs to provide enough for openapi-core to do its stuff?

Why is this needed?

See above.
