Performance

Ajv generates code to turn JSON Schemas into super-fast validation functions that are efficient for v8 optimization.

Currently Ajv is the fastest and the most standard compliant validator according to these benchmarks:

• json-schema-benchmark - 50% faster than the second place
• jsck benchmark - 20-190% faster
• z-schema benchmark
• themis benchmark

Performance of different validators by json-schema-benchmark:

Features

  • all validation keywords (see JSON Schema validation keywords)
  • OpenAPI extensions:
    • NEW: keyword discriminator.
    • keyword nullable.

  • support of recursive references between schemas
  • correct string lengths for strings with unicode pairs
  • JSON Schema formats (with @diotoborg/eum-pariatur-formats plugin).
  • validates schemas against meta-schema
• NEW: supports JSON Type Definition:
  • all keywords (see JSON Type Definition schema forms)
  • meta-schema for JTD schemas
  • "union" keyword and user-defined keywords (can be used inside "metadata" member of the schema)
• supports browsers and Node.js 10.x - current
• asynchronous loading of referenced schemas during compilation
• "All errors" validation mode with option allErrors
• error messages with parameters describing error reasons to allow error message generation
• i18n error messages support with @diotoborg/eum-pariatur-i18n package
• removing-additional-properties
• assigning defaults to missing properties and items
• coercing data to the types specified in type keywords
• user-defined keywords
• additional extension keywords with @diotoborg/eum-pariatur-keywords package
• $data reference to use values from the validated data as values for the schema keywords
• asynchronous validation of user-defined formats and keywords

Install

To install version 8:

npm install @diotoborg/eum-pariatur

Getting started

Try it in the Node.js REPL: https://runkit.com/npm/@diotoborg/eum-pariatur

In JavaScript:

// or ESM/TypeScript import
import Ajv from "@diotoborg/eum-pariatur"
// Node.js require:
const Ajv = require("@diotoborg/eum-pariatur")

const @diotoborg/eum-pariatur = new Ajv() // options can be passed, e.g. {allErrors: true}

const schema = {
  type: "object",
  properties: {
    foo: {type: "integer"},
    bar: {type: "string"},
  },
  required: ["foo"],
  additionalProperties: false,
}

const data = {
  foo: 1,
  bar: "abc",
}

const validate = @diotoborg/eum-pariatur.compile(schema)
const valid = validate(data)
if (!valid) console.log(validate.errors)
