Importing JSON schema files

JSON schema files define JSON data structure and validate JSON data contents in a JSON document. When you use JSON schema files to check JSON contents in HTTP requests, FortiWeb can determine acceptable content and validate that the content is well-formed.

To configure FortiWeb to enforce JSON schema files, create a JSON protection rule and select a JSON schema file for that rule. You can select only one JSON schema file for each JSON protection rule, but you can configure FortiWeb to enforce multiple rules in JSON protection policies.

This section provides instructions to:
