The JSON schema should be compliant with JSON Schema Draft04, Draft06 or Draft07 specifications.
So, this validation program uses libraries compliant with that specification.
The installation instructions are in INSTALL.md .
The roots of this code come from https://github.com/inab/benchmarking-data-model/tree/0.4.0/toolsForValidation.
Its development was later followed at [https://github.com/fairtracks/fairtracks_validator/], where implementations in other programming languages were also hosted. Python code gained traction and real modularisation there.
As this Python code is relevant to several research projects, it has been split from its latest repo, keeping the core and original extensions at https://github.com/inab/python-extended-json-schema-validator, and keeping these specific FAIRTracks extensions at https://github.com/fairtracks/fairtracks_validator_python.

json_schema_or_dir [json_file_or_dir [json_file_or_dir ...]]
Validate JSON against JSON Schemas with extensions (version 0.9.7)
positional arguments:
json_schema_or_dir The JSON Schema file or directory to validate and use
json_file_or_dir The JSON files or directories to be validated
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log-file LOGFILENAME
Store messages in a file instead of using standard error and standard output
--log-format LOGFORMAT
Format of log messages
-q, --quiet Only show engine warnings and errors
-v, --verbose Show verbose (informational) messages
-d, --debug Show debug messages (use with care, as it could potentially disclose sensitive contents)
-V, --version show program's version number and exit
-C CONFIGFILENAME, --config CONFIGFILENAME
Configuration file (used by extensions)
--cache-dir CACHEDIR Caching directory (used by extensions)
--report REPORTFILENAME
Store validation report (in JSON format) in a file
--verbose-report When this flag is enabled, the report also embeds the json contents which were validated
--invalidate Caches are invalidated on startup
--read-only When this flag is enabled, the caches are read-only, avoiding expensive operations related to the caches
--warm-up Caches are warmed up on startup
--lazy-load Caches are warmed up in a lazy way
