nikhita/kubernetes-json-schema

The kubernetes-json-schema project provides ready-made validation files that help you check whether your Kubernetes configuration files are correctly structured before you try to deploy them. Kubernetes is a system for managing large numbers of software applications, and it uses configuration files to know what to deploy. If there's a mistake in a config file, the deployment fails. This project lets you catch those mistakes early. Under the hood, Kubernetes publishes its own specifications in a format called OpenAPI, which describes what valid configuration files should look like. However, that format isn't always convenient for external tools to use directly. This project extracts that information and converts it into JSON Schema, a widely supported standard for validating data. This means you don't need a full Kubernetes installation or its command-line tools to verify your files. For each Kubernetes version, you get three variations: one that references files online, a standalone version that works without internet access, and a local version that uses relative file paths. You could use these schemas in code editors to get real-time feedback as you type, or in testing pipelines to ensure generated configs are valid. For instance, if you use a tool to generate Kubernetes configs, you could validate them against these schemas before deploying. What's notable is the focus on flexibility and removing dependencies. By providing standalone and local versions, the project ensures you can validate files even in secure environments without internet access. The README also mentions that the tooling to generate these schemas will be released eventually, which would let you create custom schemas for modified versions of Kubernetes or extended platforms like OpenShift.
