json schema validation

[jlambatl]

Hello,

We have a use case where we are looking at validating the incoming payload to ensure that it is correct. The incoming payload should conform to a valid JSON Schema specification. We are happy to contribute the feature, but we wanted to see if this has been discussed, and if so, was there any outcome? I looked through closed and open issues without finding anything.

If this is appealing, where would it fit within the existing vector design? Would it be a transform or a VRL function?

Happy to discuss this further,

Hi @jlambatl, if I understand correctly, you want to provide the schema and validate against it? This could be added as a VRL function.

Yes, effectively validate that the incoming payload matches what we expect it to be based on a json schema, and potentially other formats if required.

Would you imagine that fits within the is_jsonschema style function naming convention or something else?

Maybe conforms_to or validate_json_schema
