Schema Validation
The world of JSON Schema is immense. JSON Schema tooling exists in countless languages across a variety of uses (data validation of course a noteworthy and prominent one). Implementing the JSON Schema specification(s) in a fully compliant way is not without challenge, meaning as a user of JSON Schema it is important to understand how a particular implementation may deviate such that one can make constructive tooling choices or help implementations improve. Bowtie is a recently created tool to aide in this task, helping to surface the conformance of various JSON Schema tools with the specification by running them against a set of known correct test cases and regularly rendering the results to a web page. But it can do more! Expected Outcomes: Enhance (or replace) Bowtie's simplistic current UI so that it most easily answers "what do various implementations say about each test case" -- making it snappier and more featureful Add support for further JSON Schema implementations by creating Bowtie harnesses in additional languages Teach Bowtie to compare not only True/False validation results but also the full JSON Schema standardized output formats
