A high-performance JSON Schema validator for Rust.
```rust
use serde_json::json;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {
let schema = json!({"maxLength": 5});
let instance = json!("foo");
// One-off validation
assert!(jsonschema::is_valid(&schema, &instance));
assert!(jsonschema::validate(&schema, &instance));
// Build & reuse (faster)
let validator = jsonschema::validator_for(&schema)?;
// Fail on first error
assert!(validator.validate(&instance));
// Iterate over errors
for error in validator.iter_errors(&instance) {
eprintln!("Error: {error}");
eprintln!("Location: {}", error.instance_path);
}
// Boolean result
assert!(validator.is_valid(&instance));
Ok(())
}
```
You also can use it from the command line via the [jsonschema-cli](https://github.com/Stranger6667/jsonschema/tree/master/crates/jsonschema-cli) crate.
```console
$ jsonschema-cli schema.json -i instance.json
```
See more usage examples in the [documentation](https://docs.rs/jsonschema).

## Performance
`jsonschema` outperforms other Rust JSON Schema validators in most scenarios:
- Up to **20-470x** faster than `valico` and `jsonschema_valid` for complex schemas
- Generally **3-20x** faster than `boon`
For detailed benchmarks, see our [full performance comparison](https://github.com/Stranger6667/jsonschema/tree/master/crates/benchmark-suite).
## Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This crate requires Rust 1.70 or later.
## Acknowledgements
