This is a Java implementation of the [JSON Schema Core Draft v4, v6, v7, v2019-09 and v2020-12](http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-core.html) specification for JSON schema validation.
This is a Java implementation of the [JSON Schema Core Draft v4, v6, v7, v2019-09 and v2020-12](http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-core.html) specification for JSON schema validation. This implementation supports [Customizing Meta-Schemas, Vocabularies, Keywords and Formats](doc/custom-meta-schema.md).

In addition, it also works for OpenAPI 3.0 request/response validation with some [configuration flags](doc/config.md). For users who want to collect information from a JSON node based on the schema, the [walkers](doc/walkers.md) can help. The JSON parser used is the [Jackson](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson) parser. As it is a key component in our [light-4j](https://github.com/networknt/light-4j) microservices framework to validate request/response against OpenAPI specification for [light-rest-4j](http://www.networknt.com/style/light-rest-4j/) and RPC schema for [light-hybrid-4j](http://www.networknt.com/style/light-hybrid-4j/) at runtime, performance is the most important aspect in the design.

Since [Draft 2019-09](https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/json-schema-validation#rfc.section.7) the `format` keyword only generates annotations by default and does not generate assertions.

The earlier draft specifications contain less keywords that can potentially impact performance. For instance the use of the `unevaluatedProperties` or `unevaluatedItems` keyword will trigger annotation collection in the related validators, such as the `properties` or `items` validators.

This does not mean that using a schema with a later draft specification will automatically cause a performance impact. For instance, the `properties` validator will perform checks to determine if annotations need to be collected, and checks if the meta schema contains the `unevaluatedProperties` keyword and whether the `unevaluatedProperties` keyword exists adjacent the evaluation path.

The `pattern` validator by default uses the JDK regular expression implementation which is not ECMA-262 compliant and is thus not compliant with the JSON Schema specification. The library can however be configured to use a ECMA-262 compliant regular expression implementation.

Annotation processing and reporting are implemented. Note that the collection of annotations will have an adverse performance impact.

This implements the Flag, List and Hierarchical output formats defined in the [Specification for Machine-Readable Output for JSON Schema Validation and Annotation](https://github.com/json-schema-org/json-schema-spec/blob/8270653a9f59fadd2df0d789f22d486254505bbe/jsonschema-validation-output-machines.md).
