JSON Schema validation (nested objects, arrays) in Postman - Part II

In this tutorial, we will look at more advanced things regarding JSON schema validation: for example (nested objects, arrays…). They all are part of the response body and it’s very important to know how to deal with them.

You will learn how to how to limit the number of properties that you get in the response, how to make changes in response, how to avoid the unknown properties and want to get informed if something changes in the response, adding additional configuration into the schema, those are called additional properties.

How do you validate an array of objects? What would that look like? I am working on a piece and running into issues with python jsonschema validator. Was wondering if you could help with what an array (of 2 elements [{'a':'10}, {'b':'English'}]) of objects would look like

[jotunros]

Thanks for the video. This helped me figure out how to simplify testing error responses with regards to consistency from method to method within the same endpoint. I had situations where dev did small changes. This will make things very easy to track.

[mireyca]

"name": "Steve",
"ready": "Ready"
},

"ready": "Ready"
}

Thanks for the series Valentine. I'm just wondering these automation scripts and validations are using by developers or it is common within QA teams as well ?
