You can test this library online; you can even fork this web site and run it yourself.
This project also has a dedicated Google group.
- development version: 2.1.6

In the example below, substitute your-version-here for the version you want.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.fge</groupId>
<artifactId>json-schema-validator</artifactId>
<version>your-version-here</version>
</dependency>This library's dependency on json-schema-core opens up many possibilities for extensions. A decicated project already has a few examples.
The site mentioned above already has a few examples of what is possible. Much more is doable. In fact, the only limiting factor is your own imagination!
The versioning scheme is defined by the middle digit of the version number:
- if this number is even, then this is the stable version; no new features will be added to such versions, and the user API will not change (save for some additions if requested).
- if this number is odd, then this is the development version; new features will be added to those versions only, and the user API may change.
This implementation is based on the following drafts:
- JSON Schema Internet draft, version 4 (link to validation spec);
- JSON Schema Internet draft, version 3;
- JSON Reference Internet draft, version 3;
- JSON Pointer (RFC 6901).
