Research direction

The issue identifies the validate entry point and an in-memory schema string; start by tracing how validate currently accepts and loads schemas. Done means users can pass schema_text directly without creating a temporary file, with the shown validation flow covered by tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I couldn't find a way to read from a string, without spamming a temporary file.

from openapi_spec_validator import validate

schema_text = """{"openapi": "3.0.0"}"""

schema: Schema = ???(schema_text)

validate(schema)
