When to use it
What Schema Validator helps you do
Schema validation checks whether a JSON value follows an explicit contract, including field types, required properties and supported constraints.
Check configuration files
Catch missing fields and invalid types before configuration reaches a runtime environment.
Develop a schema
Try valid and invalid fixtures while refining constraints and error messages.
Important limitations
What to check before using the result
- Validation behaviour depends on the schema dialect and keywords supported by the validator configuration.
- Passing a schema does not guarantee that business logic or external dependencies will accept the data.
Common questions
About Schema Validator
How is schema validation different from syntax validation?
Syntax validation checks whether text is JSON. Schema validation also checks the parsed value against declared rules.
Why can valid JSON fail a JSON Schema?
The document may parse correctly but still have missing properties, incorrect types or values outside schema constraints.
