When a Schema must forbid a field combination or require at least one array item to match a condition, express it with not and contains, then validate a short sample locally. Use not to block risky combinations such as production plus testMode=true, and contains to require an active admin role or a billing feature entry.

Common lookup scenarios
Block production with testMode=true
Confirm a features array is missing billing
Check whether roles include an active admin
Find why contains matched no array item
Review forbidden combinations and array-member rules before release
Recommended workflow
- Format the Schema and JSON sample
- Put forbidden combinations in not and include required fields
- Put array-member requirements in contains
- Run Schema validation and inspect keyword plus instancePath
- Use JSONPath, Pointer, and Deep Diff to confirm array shape changes

When a Schema must forbid a field combination or require at least one array item to match a condition, express it with not and contains, then validate a short sample locally. Use not to block risky combinations such as production plus testMode=true, and contains to require an active admin role or a billing feature entry.
What problems do not and contains solve?
not rejects data that matches a forbidden subschema. contains requires at least one array item to satisfy a condition.
Do these examples upload API data?
No. Schema validation runs in the browser. The sitemap only includes short demo examples, not user input.
