ShapeRecursionValidator (Smithy API 1.6.1)

java.lang.Object
- software.amazon.smithy.model.validation.AbstractValidator
- - software.amazon.smithy.model.validation.validators.ShapeRecursionValidator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Validator
```
public final class ShapeRecursionValidator
extends AbstractValidator
```
Ensures that list, set, and map shapes are not directly recursive, meaning that if they do have a recursive reference to themselves, one or more references that form the recursive path travels through a structure or union shape.
This check removes an entire class of problems from things like code generators where a list of itself or a list of maps of itself is impossible to define.
