  1. Paste a sample of your JSON.
  2. Generate the schema, or paste a schema to validate against.
  3. Read the schema or the list of validation errors.

Frequently asked questions

What is JSON Schema used for?

It describes the expected shape of JSON, so APIs, forms and config files can be validated automatically, with clear errors on bad data.

Is a generated schema final?

No, it is a starting point inferred from one sample. Add required fields, formats and limits by hand, and test it against more examples.

Why does validation fail on a field that looks right?

Look at the type. A number written as text in quotes fails a number rule. Check the error path to find the exact field.
