The project is part of the python-jsonschema GitHub organization and is documented as a CLI and hook built on the jsonschema library, with local and remote schema support. ### Adoption history The README and documentation show two adoption paths: direct CLI installation with pipx or Homebrew, and use as a pre-commit hook. The batch input records additional packaging in Alpine, Nix, and Arch Linux. ### How it is used A common command is `check-jsonschema --schemafile schema.json instance.json`. The tool can also use built-in schemas for GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, Renovate, GitLab CI, Read the Docs, Dependabot, and other configuration formats. ### Why package nerds care Package nerds care because check-jsonschema packages SchemaStore-style validation and pre-commit integration into one small command, making repository metadata, CI files, and dependency-bot configs checkable from editors, hooks, and CI. ### Timeline - 2021: GitHub repository created. - 2021: 0.1.0 uploaded to PyPI. - 2023: 0.23.x releases published on GitHub. - 2026: Documentation version 0.37.4 published on Read the Docs. ### Related projects - python-jsonschema/jsonschema is the underlying validation library. - pre-commit is a primary integration surface. - SchemaStore and vendor CI/config schemas are used through built-in schema choices. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for check-jsonschema. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** check-jsonschema - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - check-jsonschema: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ch/check-jsonschema/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - check-jsonschema - 0.28.4-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: check-jsonschema from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A JSON Schema CLI built on jsonschema.
