Schema Validation

Schema validation is a process used to ensure that data follows a specific structure and set of rules. Think of it like a blueprint for a building: just as a builder follows a design to ensure safety and functionality, schema validation checks that data adheres to pre-defined formats and types. This is especially important in databases and web services, as it helps prevent errors and ensures consistency. If the data doesn't match the schema, it can be flagged as incorrect or incomplete, allowing for corrections before further processing.
