schema validation

Domain: Validation Typing

🎯 Motivation

schema validation checks data against a formal description (schema) of its structure. It ensures nested data like JSON from an API matches expected fields, types, and constraints before your code processes it.

📋 Concrete Example

You define a pydantic model with nested fields, then call Model.model_validate(json_data) to verify every key and type in the incoming JSON matches the schema, rejecting mismatches.

🔗 Analogy

schema validation is like checking a shipment against a packing slip. Every item must match the list in name, quantity, and type, or the shipment is rejected.
