The schema and vocabulary URIs are identifiers; they are not network addressable.

In addition to standard JSON Schema Draft 2019-09 vocabularies, instances of the Amazon Product Type Definition Meta-Schema utilize keywords that are defined by a custom vocabulary in the meta-schema. This documentation outlines the custom vocabulary for https://schemas.amazon.com/selling-partners/definitions/product-types/vocabulary/v1.

If you choose to ignore this custom vocabulary and use only the standard JSON Schema Draft 2019-09 vocabularies, you may get validation errors.

Example validator implementations

JSON Schema is a vocabulary that allows you to annotate and validate JSON documents. There are multiple paid and open-source applications and libraries that support JSON Schema, refer to JSON Schema Implementations for a list of known implementations.

The following reference validator implementations provide examples of how you can validate a custom vocabulary for instances of Amazon Product Type Definition Meta-Schema using language-specific open-source libraries. Amazon does not provide technical support for third-party JSON Schema libraries and these are provided as examples only.
