SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

z-schema makes it possible to ensure JSON data conforms to a JSON Schema across drafts 04 through 2020-12, catching type, required, and structural errors before processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports validation against JSON Schema drafts 04, 06, 07, 2019-09, and 2020-12, including remote references.
  • Provides detailed error information including paths, codes, and nested inner errors for complex schemas.
  • Works in sync and async modes, with safe (non-throwing) options and optional schema pre-compilation for performance.
  • Use case: validate API payloads, data migrations, and form submissions to enforce schema compliance across environments.

Quick Start

Create a validator with ZSchema.create() and call validate with a sample data object and its schema.

What JSON Schema drafts are supported for validation?▼

JSON Schema validation supports drafts 04, 06, 07, 2019-09, and 2020-12, allowing you to enforce schema compliance across multiple specification versions.

Does JSON validation work in both sync and async modes?▼

JSON validation works in both sync and async modes, offering safe non-throwing options and optional schema pre-compilation to optimize performance during repetitive validation tasks.

How do I get detailed error paths when validating JSON?▼

Detailed JSON validation errors provide specific paths, error codes, and nested inner errors for complex schemas, producing actionable results to pinpoint exactly where data fails to conform.

Can I validate JSON schemas that use remote references?▼

Validating JSON schemas with remote references is supported, enabling data validation against distributed schema definitions that link to external structural resources.

What's the best way to validate API payloads against a schema?▼

Validate API payloads by pre-compiling schemas and using sync or async validation modes to enforce strict schema compliance, catching type and required field errors before processing.
