JSON Schema Design Mode Validation

Validation for the Design mode is seamlessly integrated in the Oxygen JSON Editor JSON Schema validation support. You can ensure that the JSON Schemas you develop comply with JSON standards by using the built-in validation engine. You can also configure a validation scenario to use an external JSON Schema validation engine. A validation scenario can also be configured to define a main module of a complex JSON Schema to validate modules in the context of the larger schema structure.

Visual Error Markers

A schema validation error is presented by highlighting the invalid component in the following locations:
  • The component is surrounded with a red or yellow border within the diagram (you can customize these colors in the Document Validation preferences page).
  • A tooltip contains information about the error when hovering over the error within the diagram.
  • The vertical stripe at the right side of the editor displays error markers.
  • In the message area at the bottom of the editor (denoted with a red icon ).

If you validate the entire schema using the Validate action from the Validation toolbar drop-down menu, all validation errors will be presented in the Results pane at the bottom of the application. To resolve an error, just click it and the corresponding schema component will be displayed as the diagram root so that you can easily correct the error.
