JSON Schema type integer

Question

In the spec http://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-core.html, it only list below types: null, boolean, string, number, object, array.

I know number includes integer, but can I define a "type":"integer" explicitly. I mean will this violate the spec?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use {"type": "integer"} in the schema.

See:
