FAQ
❓ How does v8r decide what schema to validate against if I don't supply one?
💡 v8r queries the Schema Store catalog to try and find a suitable schema based on the name of the input file.
❓ My file is valid, but it doesn't validate against one of the suggested schemas.
💡 v8r is a fairly thin layer of glue between Schema Store (where the schemas come from) and ajv (the validation engine). It is likely that this kind of problem is either an issue with the schema or validation engine.
