JSONBuddy Toolbox

The JSONBuddy Toolbox Extension brings JSON Schema validation to Visual Studio. The built-in JSON validator is compliant with the 2020-12 schema specification.

Please add the JSONBuddy toolbar to the Visual Studio IDE using the context menu. The toolbar gives you access to the JSON formatting commands.

How to

1. To set a JSON Schema reference, add a "JSON Schema" folder containing your schema file at the same level as the JSON instance documents in the Solution Explorer.
2. Use the context menu of a .json file item and run the "Validate JSON" command to validate a JSON document.
3. The JSONBuddy Toolbox Output window will show the validation results.

JSON input is validated using the JSON Schema compliant validator also available in JSONBuddy. Learn more at https://www.json-buddy.com
