validate-json

Validates JSON or JSONL records against a JSON Schema. The pipeline fails immediately if any record does not conform.

Supported formats: json jsonl

Options

Option	Type	Required	Description
schema	string	Yes	Path to a JSON Schema file, or an inline JSON Schema string

Examples

Reference a schema file:

- validate-json:
    schema: ./schemas/customer.json

Inline schema:

- validate-json:
    schema: |
      {
        "type": "object",
        "required": ["email", "name"],
        "properties": {
          "email": { "type": "string", "format": "email" },
          "name":  { "type": "string" }
        }
      }

Notes

• Validation errors include the field path and the constraint that failed, making them easy to act on.
• Use validate-json early in a pipeline to fail fast before expensive steps like http-transform.
• Schema file paths are resolved relative to the current working directory.
