JSON Schema
JSON Schema describes and supports reliable use of the JSON data format.
About JSON Schema
JSON Schema provides a vocabulary for defining constraints and validation rules for JSON data to support consistency, validity, and interoperability. It can be used to check data structures for errors, define shared rules for exchange across systems, and create a standardized description of data for collaboration.
It is supported by community-driven validators, generators, linters, and other utilities across many programming languages, along with a Slack workspace and regular office hours and working meetings.
