Overview

JSON Schema is a vocabulary that allows to annotate and validate JSON documents. The schema describes the data format, and provides complete structural validation. Example:

{
  "description":"A customer",
  "type":"object",
  "properties":
   {
      "first": {"type": "string"},
      "last" : {"type" : "string"}
   }
}

OpenAPI Specification (OAS) relies on JSON Schema. See:
