Currently developing the schema parsing in pure C implementation in my play C tool called jso. You can see progress here: https://github.com/bukka/jso/commits/next . The plan is to develop it inside jso and then port it to jsond and then propose it for json ext inclusion (that's how I developed the current parser). There is a lot of to do as JsonSchema is quite complex (composition, JSON pointers, stream integration for external pointers and more tricky bits) so this won't likely be ready for 8.3 but should be ready for 8.4. I plan to introduce some smaller things for 8.3 like better error reporting (error location which I have already working in jso) and some other small additions. By the way, the schema support won't be useful just for validation but also for decoding and possibly encoding (sort of replacement for JsonSerializable). Especially for decoding it can be further extended to allow class mapping. We could also provide automatic generation of schema from class and support attributes. I plan to propose all of this later as well but that might take some time. Regards Jakub
