What is JSON Schema?
JSON Schema is a vocabulary that allows you to annotate and validate JSON documents. It describes the structure, data types, required fields, and constraints of your JSON data. JSON Schema is widely used for:
- API contract definition (OpenAPI/Swagger)
- Configuration file validation
- Data validation in applications
- Documentation generation
