About the JSON Schema Validator

The JSON Schema Validator checks a JSON document against a JSON Schema and reports detailed, location-aware errors whenever the data does not conform. It supports the common drafts — 4, 6, 7 and 2020-12 — along with format validation, so you can enforce the structure of your data precisely rather than relying on ad-hoc checks.

Developers use it to confirm that API payloads and configuration files match an agreed contract before shipping, catching missing required fields, wrong types and malformed values early. Clear, specific error messages make it quick to see exactly what failed and where, which shortens the loop between writing a schema and trusting it.

Validation runs entirely in your browser, so neither your data nor your schema is uploaded to a server. There is no install and no account, which makes it a private, dependable check to run during development whenever you need to be sure a document is well-formed.
