Is there was a standard way to validate the types of the existing json to match the one I am about to submit? Background: I pressed an x button and a submit button on a popup from something from the exchange. Got an overlay error. Checked the json. Replaced `false` with `[]` to fix my menu tag. Came to the forums to check if there was a standard way to validate the types of the existing json to match the one I am about to submit. I came across this post [JSON Schema Validation. format: date-time - #9 by pascal.fragnoud](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/json-schema-validation-format-date-time/91610/9)] talking about a specific set of testing and specific qualifying or validating of a specific json. I think a standard type checking function would help myself and other people saving json places. I think it would be like creating a json of types of both jsons in a try except, then if both succeeded, checking if they are equal. It seems like something that would exist in a library already. I apologize if I am asking a really dumb question for which a function exists already that I don't know of. Or is that the standard way in that other post, and I just don't understand it. * * * Probably I am being silly, as I only have 5 entries to qualify, and a standard json compare would be overkill.
