“Validate JSON Schema” ? ---- this expression sounds strange to me. Is it a correct English expression? Do we want to validate a JSON Schema? In most case, no. We do not want to validate a schema. Rather we want to validate a JSON instance document based on a predefined (proven) schema. The keyword should be named correctly. Otherwise, people would get confused what the keyword does. For example, a proper expression can be found in https://www.baeldung.com/rest-assured-json-schema we’ll take a look at how we can validate a JSON response based on a predefined JSON schema .

Same mistake for XML validation (POC)

In the doc [image] [WS] Validate JSON Schema (PoC) Important This Proof of Concept (PoC) is not ready for production use. We recommend using this PoC for evaluation purposes only. Download Katalon Studio version 8.3.1.alpha. Description Validate a JSON... I found a sample coce boolean successful = WS.validateJsonSchema(jsonObject,jsonPass) The keyword is named as “WS.validateJsonSchema” !?. Well, in my opinion, this naming is wrong.

@kazurayam well … of-course, why am I not surprised? If the naming in the code are misleading, why should be the documentation right? cc @Russ_Thomas from the community side, he knows why … cc @vu.tran : regarding our recent private discussions …

Yes. This. [image] Validate JSON matches expected schema Katalon Studio It doesn’t take much digging to figure out the docs have this completely wrong. @Jass @duyluong Before this PoC/feature gains too much traction and invites users to completely misinterpret its intent and purpose, please understand the difference (highlighted by @bionel) and fix the documentation. If one of us (few) were around 5+ years ago to advise you, the mismatch between WebUI.setText and WebUI.getText (dare I mention WebUI.getAttribute?) wouldn’t have happened. Let’s nip this one in the …

@duyluong Like I said in the link above, you need to fix this so that the intent of the API is abundantly clear. validateJsonBy(schema, response) validateJson(response, schema) Either of those two make sense in English. validateJsonScema means your intent is to validate the schema itself which is clearly NOT what is intended.
