Edit and format JSON with ease

JSON Schema Linter

The main purpose of the JSON schema linter is to catch issues and critical errors in schema specifications early and automatically. This helps to increase the quality of the schema pool and to avoid breaking the work-flow. The linter reports issues, which are not covered by the standard schema validation. As an example, a broken $ref link, or missing definitions are detected and can be fixed immediately.

This JSON Schema linter page is a simple showcase of the live analyzer available in JSONBuddy. The linter, available using the web form, offers the complete functionality but is currently limited to schemas and input with less than 2 KB of text. You can find a list of currently detected issues by the schema linter here

The JSON Schema analyzer component is also available in the JSONBuddy Visual Studio Extension. The extension does also include JSON formatting, JSON Schema validation, schema generation, and JSON Schema documentation for Visual Studio.
