Why Use JSON Schema?

Data Validation
Catch missing fields, wrong types, and extras before production. Paste samples into the JSON Formatter, then iterate with the combined schema workflow page.
API Contracts
Document request/response shapes beside OpenAPI. Generate client types using JSON → TypeScript once the schema matches reality.
Data Consistency
Keep microservices aligned on the same structure. When two services disagree, diff exported fixtures with JSON Diff and flatten nested events via JSON Flatten before schema inference.
