An Analysis of JSON Schema Defects
Context
While teaching back-end programming at Mines Paris, an engineering school which is part of PSL University, we have looked at how JSON data could be validated when transfered from a front-end (eg react-native) to a back-end (eg a REST API with Flask) and to storage (eg a Postgres database).
We have stumbled upon JSON Schema, and our investigation leads to an academic study which analyses many schemas, finds common defects, and proposes changes to the spec which would rule out syntactically most of these defects, at the price of some contraints.
