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.
