Description

Schema Validation

Validate JSON against a JSON Schema-style subset and return a field-level report.

This utility is a report-producing transformer. It does not block, skip, warn, or otherwise control pipeline execution. Use validation.contract when a pipeline needs guardrail behavior.

Supported V1 Schema Fields

  • type: object, array, string, number, boolean, or null
  • required: array of required object keys
  • properties: object field rules
  • items: array item rule
  • enum: primitive values only, using strings, numbers, booleans, or null

Unknown fields are ignored in V1.

Invalid schema config returns:

{
  "valid": false,
  "errors": [
    { "field": "$schema", "message": "Missing or invalid schema config" }
  ]
}
