JSON Schema validator?

[silas]

I took a rough first stab (definitely not complete) at creating a JSON Schema validator (like api-declaration-schema.json) for the new spec, is there any interest in having an official JSON schema, or do you want to keep swagger-spec primarily a textual reference?

The current format probably isn't acceptable for a published document.

👍 for me, this would greatly simplify third parties implementations of the specification.

I believe the goal is to be able to provide a JSON Schema as well
(definitely not instead as it doesn't contain explanations) and it's one of
those things down the list. Obviously, anything to start off with would be
great, so thanks for the effort Silas!

Great.
We shall have two schemas, one for resource listing and one for resource spec.
Try to be as explicit - this will allow detecting subtle errors quickly by test suites - schema working as sort of automated Swagger consultant :-)

I would skip adding validator (as piece of code) into spec, this is task for users to find some.

As soon as you will have the schema ready for comments, let me know, I can propose or even do few modifications to make it more explicit. Typically reviewing all places, where "string" is required, very often it can be much more restrictive and still following what is intended to be used.
