Any “validation tool” for a sufficiently complex data format, therefore, will likely have two phases of validation: one at the schema (or structural) level, and one at the semantic level. The latter check will likely need to be implemented using a more general-purpose programming language. -- source

Features (json-schema):

• Full support for Draft 3 and Draft 4 of the schema.

• Programmatic querying of which properties or items failed validation.
