JSON Schema Validator
Validates JSON data against a JSON Schema and reports path-based errors such as $.user.email.
Supports a documented subset of the spec, not the full draft, see the FAQ below.
About This Tool
JSON Schema Validator checks a JSON document against a JSON Schema and reports every failure as a
path-based message ($.user.email: ...), so you know exactly which field is wrong rather than
just that something is. It covers a documented subset of the keyword spec, not the full draft.
If you only need to confirm text is syntactically valid JSON (no schema involved) use JSON Validator instead; it's lighter and doesn't require writing a schema.
Key Features
- Path-based error report: every failure lists the exact JSONPath location and reason, one per line.
- Built-in draft meta-schemas: load Draft 2020-12, 2019-09, v7, v6, v4, or v3 directly from the official schema URLs.
- SchemaStore.org presets: fetch real-world schemas for
package.json,tsconfig.json,.eslintrc, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions/Workflow, and more. - Separate data & schema panes: edit both independently, each with its own upload, sample, and line/char status.
- Copy or download the report: export the validation result as plain text.
- Keyboard-driven: Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to validate, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+C to copy the report.
Example
Schema:
{
"type": "object",
"required": ["email"],
"properties": {
"email": { "type": "string", "format": "email" },
"age": { "type": "integer", "minimum": 0 }
}
} Data with an invalid email produces:
$.email: does not match format "email" (basic check only).
