json-api/schema-validation

Since 0.0.1

This rule ensures that request and response documents in a JSON:API conform to the JSON:API specification.

Rule Details

The json-api/schema-validation rule is designed to ensure that request and response documents in a JSON:API conform to the JSON:API specification. This includes checking the document’s structure, as well as the structure of any contained resources. This rule is specifically useful for APIs that adhere to the JSON:API specification.

Configuration

None.

Examples

Good. The following response defines a minimalistic but valid document schema.

---
paths:
  /users/current:
    get:
      responses:
        2XX:
          content:
            application/vnd.api+json:
              schema:
                type: object
                properties:
                  jsonapi:
                    type: object
                  data:
                    type: object

Bad. The following schema defines string response, which is not a valid type for JSON:API documents.

---
paths:
  /users/current:
    get:
      responses:
        2XX:
          content:
            application/vnd.api+json:
              schema:
                type: string
