jsonschema

A high-performance JSON Schema validator for Rust.

use serde_json::json;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let schema = json!({"maxLength": 5});
    let instance = json!("foo");

    // One-off validation
    assert!(jsonschema::is_valid(&schema, &instance));
    assert!(jsonschema::validate(&schema, &instance).is_ok());

    // Build & reuse (faster)
    let validator = jsonschema::validator_for(&schema)?;

    // Fail on first error
    assert!(validator.validate(&instance).is_ok());

    // Iterate over errors
    for error in validator.iter_errors(&instance) {
        eprintln!("Error: {error}");
        eprintln!("Location: {}", error.instance_path);
    }

    // Boolean result
    assert!(validator.is_valid(&instance));

    Ok(())
}

You also can use it from the command line via the jsonschema-cli crate.

$ jsonschema-cli schema.json -i instance.json
