Introduction
JSON Schema provides a structured way to define and validate JSON data, ensuring consistency and reliability in data exchange.
When applied to streaming data, JSON Schema helps validate incoming messages in real-time, ensuring they conform to predefined formats. This is particularly useful in event-driven architectures, message queues, and APIs that handle continuous data flows.
Key benefits of using JSON Schema in streaming include:
- Data Validation: Ensures that incoming messages adhere to a specified structure.
- Interoperability: Standardized schemas allow different services to communicate seamlessly.
- Error Handling: Invalid messages can be detected and handled before processing.
- Versioning Support: Eases the transition when updating message formats.
