Json Schema Validator
This library is a Java-based tool for enforcing data structure constraints and verifying technical formats against defined schema specifications. It functions as a processing utility that parses complex data structures while managing external schema references and circular dependencies.
The engine distinguishes itself through an immutable processor design that enables thread-safe, concurrent validation without requiring external synchronization. It employs arbitrary-precision arithmetic to evaluate numeric constraints, preventing common floating-point rounding errors, and utilizes character-level processing to ensure Unicode-aware string validation for complex symbols. Developers can extend the core pipeline by registering custom keywords and format handlers to implement specialized business logic.
The project provides comprehensive schema management, including structural compliance checking against meta-schemas, URI-based dependency resolution, and configurable schema loading. It supports detailed error reporting that continues validation across child elements even after parent failures, and includes a command-line interface for terminal-based data verification.
Features
