JSON Schema is one of 8 APIs that [Test Specifications](https://apis.io/providers/test-specifications/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include JSON, Schema Validation, and Specification. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

JSON Schema provides a vocabulary for annotating and validating JSON documents. Used extensively as the payload specification layer in test specifications, JSON Schema enables both human-readable documentation and machine-executable validation of API request and response bodies.
