Validate payload in UI?

[atdiff]

It would be good if the JSON payload was being validated within the UI against the Swagger schema. Is this in place anywhere or are there any plans for it?

[webron]

Looks like the wrong project. If relevant, please open on swagger-editor. Can't say I see validation as part of the tool though.

@webron I see this as being a part of Swagger UI actually. (I can edit my comment above). For instance, on http://petstore.swagger.io/#!/pet/addPet, I think having the payload validated when clicking "Try it out" makes sense. Thoughts?
I can open a new iissue if this one can't be reopened.

I can reopen the issue, but it still doesn't make sense to me, no. swagger-ui is not intended as a full-fledged testing tool and at the moment it falls out of scope. We may change that in the future.

@webron I don't think it needs to be a full-fledged testing tool. Validation of the payload seems like a simple thing to incorporate. If a person is going to click "Try it out", it seems logical to know whether the request and payload were valid or not as a part of that information. Seems useful.
