What is JSON Schema and how does it work?

JSON Schema is a powerful tool for validating the structure of JSON data. It defines the expected format, types, and constraints.

Can you give me an example of a JSON Schema?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": { "type": "string" },
    "age": { "type": "integer" }
  },
  "required": ["name"]
}

How do I validate JSON data against this schema?

You can use libraries like Ajv in JavaScript or jsonschema in Python to validate JSON data against your schema.

What are the benefits of using JSON Schema?

JSON Schema helps ensure data integrity, provides clear documentation, and facilitates data interchange between systems.
