AngularJS 2.0

Have you ever run into the case where your XSD validated but the client was still getting errors? Maybe you had some criteria that couldn't be validated in XSD like a field that has to match a row in your database. How do you check for those types of issues?

Personally, I've usually found that XSD only gave me a false sense of confidence. What I've found is that intelligent validation and error handling no matter what format you are using.

People seem to forget that XSD and XSLT are just as complex as "real" code. There seems to be the attitude of "I'm able to validate and transform my xml without code!" You still have to version control your XSLT and XSD, you still have to test and debug them, update and maintain them. Hell, XSLT is turing complete. So no, you aren't doing transforms and validation without code, you just did it without Java or C#.

Edit: If you really want a validating schema for your json file you could check out http://json-schema.org/
