A high-performance JSON Schema validator for Rust.

```rust
use serde_json::json;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    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.
