JSON Schema Draft-07 Automated Inference & Validation

JSON Schema provides a formal contract for validating payload structure, data types, and required fields across microservices.

1. Draft-07 Schema Anatomy

{
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "title": "UserRecord",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "id": { "type": "integer" },
    "email": { "type": "string", "format": "email" },
    "createdAt": { "type": "string", "format": "date-time" }
  },
  "required": ["id", "email"]
}

2. Automated Format Inference

• email: Strings matching RFC 5322 email patterns.
• date-time: ISO 8601 timestamps (e.g. 2026-08-16T12:00:00Z).
• uri: URLs starting with http:// or https://.
• uuid: Canonical 36-character hexadecimal UUIDs.
