A PHP library for validating JSON data structures against JSON Schema, supporting Draft-3, Draft-4, Draft-6, Draft-7, and Draft 2019-09. It provides a simple Validator API with error reporting and type coercion, and is compliance-tested via the Bowtie suite.

Use cases

• validate payloads against a schema in php
• validate api request bodies with schema
• check config files conform to a schema
• validate documents against draft-7 schemas
• coerce types when validating http input in php

When to choose

• you need standards-compliant JSON Schema validation in a PHP project
• you need support for multiple JSON Schema drafts including 2019-09
• you want a Composer-installable validator that integrates with Laravel or Symfony

When to avoid

• you need the latest JSON Schema drafts (2020-12 or newer)
• you are not working in PHP
• you need full feature coverage of newer drafts, which may be incomplete
