validate-yaml

validate-yaml performs JSON Schema validation for YAML files. Under the hood, validation is always against a JSON schema. The YAML input is converted to JSON and then checked against the schema.

In fact, both schema and input files may be YAML documents.

	JSON	YAML
schema document	✅	✅
input document	✅	✅

Usage

$ validate-yaml -h

$ validate-yaml --schema=schema.json valid.yaml

Alternatively, you could enter:

$ cat valid.yaml | validate-yaml --schema=schema.yaml
Loading schema schema.yaml...

OK
