Schemas can be validated by setting the schema input to the string literal json-schema.

By default the action will cache remote schemas (this can be disabled via the cache-remote-schema input). If you need to bust this cache for any reason, simply set a URL fragment (e.g. #bust-cache) on the schema URL.

• schema - (required) URL or file path to JSON schema to validate against
• files - (required) Multiline input of file paths to validate - supports globs
• fail-on-invalid - Whether or not to set action failure if a file is invalid (default: true)
• cache-remote-schema - Whether or not to cache the schema if remote (default: true)

• valid - true if all files are valid, otherwise false
