New Ansible Data Validation Module(s) « ipSpace.net blog
A few months ago I described how you could use JSON Schema to validate your automation data models, host/group variable files, or even Ansible inventory file. I had to use a weird toolchain to get it done – either ansible-inventory to build a complete data model from various inventory sources, or yq to convert YAML to JSON… and just for the giggles jsonschema CLI command requires the JSON input to reside in a file, so you have to use a temporary file to get the job done.
