We’re pleased to announce the availability of jsonschema4springboot v0.0.2, released on June 28, 2024. This maintenance release focuses on keeping your dependencies up-to-date while maintaining full backward compatibility with v0.0.1.

What’s New

Version 0.0.2 is a carefully curated maintenance release that brings important dependency updates without changing the library’s public API. Here’s what you get:

Updated Dependencies

The release includes critical updates to several key dependencies:

  • json-schema-validator: Upgraded from 1.4.0 to 1.4.3, bringing bug fixes and improvements to the underlying validation engine
  • Spring Framework: Spring Web updated from 6.1.5 to 6.1.10, incorporating five minor version updates with cumulative fixes
  • Jakarta Servlet API: Moved from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0 for continued compatibility with modern servlet containers
  • Lombok: Updated to 1.18.34 for the latest annotation processing improvements

Enhanced Documentation

The README has been refreshed with:

  • Maven Central availability badge, confirming easy access through standard Maven repositories
  • JavaDoc documentation badge for quick access to API reference
  • Removal of the “active development” disclaimer as the project matures

Improved Infrastructure

Behind the scenes, v0.0.2 establishes sustainable maintenance practices:

  • Automated Dependabot integration with scheduled checks every Saturday
  • Enhanced GitHub Actions workflows with improved code coverage reporting
  • Dependency snapshot submission for better security scanning

Why It Matters

This release demonstrates jsonschema4springboot’s commitment to long-term sustainability. By implementing automated dependency management, the project ensures users stay protected with security patches and bug fixes without requiring manual intervention.

For existing users, upgrading is straightforward:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.unitvectory</groupId>
    <artifactId>jsonschema4springboot</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.2</version>
</dependency>

No code changes are required—this is a drop-in replacement for v0.0.1. Your existing @ValidateJsonSchema annotations and configuration remain unchanged.

The updated Spring Framework dependency (6.1.10) ensures compatibility with the latest Spring Boot 3 applications, while the json-schema-validator updates bring improvements to the core validation engine that powers your JSON schema checks.

Get Started

jsonschema4springboot is now available on Maven Central. Add the dependency above to your pom.xml and register the ValidateJsonSchemaArgumentResolver in your Spring configuration to start validating incoming JSON requests against your schema definitions.
