Validate JSON documents against JSON Schema with structured error paths using System.Text.Json.

Installation

dotnet add package Philiprehberger.JsonSchema

Usage

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var schema = JsonSchema.Parse("""
{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "name": { "type": "string", "minLength": 1 },
        "age": { "type": "integer", "minimum": 0 }
    },
    "required": ["name"]
}
""");

var result = schema.Validate("""{ "name": "Alice", "age": 30 }""");
Console.WriteLine(result.IsValid); // True

Handling Validation Errors

var result = schema.Validate("""{ "age": -5 }""");

foreach (var error in result.Errors)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{error.Path}: {error.Message} ({error.Keyword})");
    // $.name: Required property is missing (required)
    // $.age: Value is less than minimum of 0 (minimum)
}

String Validation

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var schema = JsonSchema.Parse("""
{
    "type": "string",
    "minLength": 1,
    "maxLength": 100,
    "pattern": "^[A-Za-z]+$",
    "format": "email"
}
""");

Supported formats: email, date-time, uri, ipv4, ipv6.

Array Validation

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var schema = JsonSchema.Parse("""
{
    "type": "array",
    "items": { "type": "string" },
    "minItems": 1,
    "maxItems": 10,
    "uniqueItems": true
}
""");

Enum and Const

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var schema = JsonSchema.Parse("""
{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "status": { "enum": ["active", "inactive", "pending"] },
        "version": { "const": 2 }
    }
}
""");

Schema Composition

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var schema = JsonSchema.Parse("""
{
    "oneOf": [
        { "type": "string", "maxLength": 5 },
        { "type": "integer", "minimum": 0 }
    ]
}
""");

Supports allOf (all must match), anyOf (at least one), oneOf (exactly one), and not (must not match).

$ref with $defs

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var schema = JsonSchema.Parse("""
{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "home": { "$ref": "#/$defs/Address" },
        "work": { "$ref": "#/$defs/Address" }
    },
    "$defs": {
        "Address": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "street": { "type": "string" },
                "city": { "type": "string" }
            },
            "required": ["street", "city"]
        }
    }
}
""");

using Philiprehberger.JsonSchema;

var result = JsonSchema.Validate(schemaJson, documentJson);
