FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Go data against a JSON Schema?▼

You validate Go data against JSON Schema by compiling a schema from JSON, bytes, or Go structs, then applying it to validate JSON strings, Go structs, and maps with detailed error reporting.

Can I generate a JSON Schema from Go struct tags?▼

Yes, you can generate JSON Schemas from Go struct tags using the FromStruct[T]() method or programmatic constructors, enabling scalable validation strategies without manually writing schema files.

How do I unmarshal JSON into Go structs with defaults applied?▼

You unmarshal validated JSON into Go destinations with defaults applied during the process, ensuring safe data hydration and strict type safety across API and service boundaries.

What's the best way to enforce strict type safety during JSON unmarshalling in Go?▼

Enforce strict type safety by validating data against JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 before unmarshalling, which checks contract compliance and provides detailed error reporting for invalid payloads.

Does JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 support validating Go maps and structs?▼

Yes, JSON Schema Draft 2020-12 validation supports validating Go maps, structs, and JSON strings, allowing you to verify data integrity across multiple input types programmatically.

Why am I getting validation errors when unmarshalling JSON payloads in Go?▼

Validation errors occur when JSON payloads fail to comply with the compiled JSON Schema constraints, and the system provides detailed error reporting to identify the exact property violations.
