validate-yaml

validate-yaml

validate-yaml performs JSON Schema validation for YAML files. Under the hood, validation is always against a JSON schema. The YAML input is converted to JSON and then checked against the schema.

In fact, both schema and input files may be YAML documents.

Usage

$ validate-yaml -h
USAGE validate-yaml [-schema=PATH] FILE [FILE]
  -schema string
    	path to JSON schema definition
$ validate-yaml --schema=schema.json valid.yaml
Loading schema schema.json...
Validating valid.yaml...
OK

Alternatively, you could enter:

$ cat valid.yaml | validate-yaml --schema=schema.yaml
Loading schema schema.yaml...
Validating stream...
OK
