JSON Schema Validation

November 2025

Feature Validation

Validate your JSON data against JSON Schema (Draft-07 and newer) with detailed error reporting and instant feedback. Ensure your JSON meets specific structure and type requirements.

What is JSON Schema?

JSON Schema is a powerful vocabulary that allows you to validate, annotate, and document JSON data. It defines the structure, data types, required fields, and constraints that your JSON must follow.

Common use cases include API request/response validation, configuration file verification, data quality assurance, form data validation, and database schema enforcement. By validating against a schema, you can catch data errors early, ensure data consistency, and reduce debugging time.

What You Can Validate

JSON Schema supports comprehensive validation rules:

  • Data Types: Ensure fields are strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, or objects
  • Required Fields: Verify all mandatory properties are present
  • String Patterns: Validate emails, URLs, dates with regex patterns
  • Number Ranges: Set minimum, maximum, and exclusive bounds
  • Array Constraints: Control array length, item types, and uniqueness
  • Enum Values: Restrict values to specific options

How to Use Schema Validation

  1. 1Paste your JSON data into the main editor
  2. 2Click the Schema button in the toolbar to open the schema panel
  3. 3Enter your JSON Schema or choose from example schemas
  4. 4Click Validate Schema to check your JSON against the schema
  5. 5Review detailed error messages showing exactly what failed validation

Privacy & Technical Details

Schema validation happens entirely in your browser using the industry-standard Ajv (Another JSON Schema Validator) library. No server processing is needed for schema validation.

We support JSON Schema Draft-07 and newer specifications with fast validation powered by the Ajv library. Error reporting provides detailed messages with JSON paths pointing directly to validation failures.
