The one or more computer processors parse the one or more lists of content. The one or more computer processors populate one or more lists of one or more choices with the parsed one or more lists of content. The one or more computer processors create one or more callbacks for one or more runtime objects referenced by the one or more lists of one or more choices. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for providing completion support and on demand validation in a web tool that operates on live resources, the method comprising: creating, by one or more computer processors, one or more lists of content, wherein the one or more lists of content include one or more references to one or more runtime objects, and wherein the creating of the one or more lists of content occurs prior to runtime; parsing, by the one or more computer processors, the one or more lists of content; populating, by the one or more computer processors, one or more lists of one or more choices with the parsed one or more lists of content; creating, by the one or more computer processors, one or more callbacks for one or more runtime objects referenced by the one or more lists of one or more choices; building, by the one or more computer processors, a dependency tree that includes at least one of the one or more runtime objects referenced by the one or more lists of content; receiving, by the one or more computer processors, a notification of a change to one or more of the referenced one or more runtime objects; issuing, by the one or more computer processors, one or more representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) calls to determine details of the change to one or more of the referenced one or more runtime objects; running, by the one or more computer processors, a validation against the one or more changed referenced one or more runtime objects; determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether one or more of the one or more changed referenced one or more runtime objects is invalid; responsive to determining one or more of the one or more changed referenced one or more runtime objects is invalid, marking, by the one or more computer processors, the invalid changed referenced one or more runtime objects; and outputting, by the one or more computer processors, results of the validation, wherein the results include one or more suggestions for replacing the invalid changed referenced one or more runtime objects. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, by the one or more computer processors, the one or more lists of one or more choices. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving a notification of a change to one or more of the referenced one or more runtime objects results from creation of the one or more callbacks. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising applying, by the one or more computer processors, one or more types of one or more filters to the one or more lists of content, wherein one or more types of one or more filters includes at least one of a type filter and a predicate filter. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein content in the one or more lists of content includes one or more elements of a uniform resource identifier. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein parsing the one or more lists of content further comprises determining, by the one or more computer processors, a name of at least one of the one or more runtime objects. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein populating the one or more lists of one or more choices with the parsed one or more lists of content further comprises: requesting, by the one or more computer processors, a full hierarchy of the one or more choices using a depth parameter; and filtering, by the one or more computer processors, the hierarchy. ### Claim 8 A computer program product for providing completion support and on demand validation in a web tool that operates on live resources, the computer program product comprising: one or more computer readable storage device and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage device, the stored program instructions comprising: program instructions to create one or more lists of content, wherein the one or more lists of content include one or more references to one or more runtime objects, and wherein the creating of the one or more lists of content occurs prior to runtime; program instructions to parse the one or more lists of content; program instructions to populate one or more lists of one or more choices with the parsed one or more lists of content; program instructions to create one or more callbacks for one or more runtime objects referenced by the one or more lists of one or more choices; program instructions to build a dependency tree that includes at least one of the one or more runtime objects referenced by the one or more lists of content; program instructions to receive a notification of a change to one or more of the referenced one or more runtime objects; program instructions to issue one or more representational state transfer (REST) application programming interface (API) calls to determine details of the change to one or more of the referenced one or more runtime objects; program instructions to run a validation against the one or more changed referenced one or more runtime objects; program instructions to determine whether one or more of the one or more changed referenced one or more runtime objects is invalid;
