The package can be used to read schemas for code generation, and to validate data using the draft 2020-12 specification. Validation with other drafts or custom meta-schemas is not supported. Construct a [Schema] as you would any Go struct (for example, by writing a struct literal), or unmarshal a JSON schema into a [Schema] in the usual way (with [encoding/json], for instance). It can then be used for code generation or other purposes without further processing. # Validation Before using a Schema to validate a JSON value, you must first resolve it by calling [Schema.Resolve]. The call [Resolved.Validate] on the result to validate a JSON value. The value must be a Go value that looks like the result of unmarshaling a JSON value into an [any] or a struct. For example, the JSON value {"name": "Al", "scores": [90, 80, 100]} could be represented as the Go value map[string]any{ "name": "Al", "scores": []any{90, 80, 100}, } or as a value of this type: type Player struct { Name string `json:"name"` Scores []int `json:"scores"` } # Inference The [For] and [ForType] functions return a [Schema] describing the given Go type. The type cannot contain any function or channel types, and any map types must have a string key. For example, calling For on the above Player type results in this schema: { "properties": { "name": { "type": "string" }, "scores": { "type": "array", "items": {"type": "integer"} } "required": ["name", "scores"], "additionalProperties": {"not": {}} } } # Deviations from the specification Regular expressions are processed with Go's regexp package, which differs from ECMA 262, most significantly in not supporting back-references. See [this table of differences] for more. The value of the "format" keyword is recorded in the Schema, but is ignored during validation. It does not even produce [annotations].
