Validate JSON against JSON Schema C#

Question

Is there a way to validate a JSON structure against a JSON schema for that structure? I have looked and found JSON.Net validate but this does not do what I want.

Ok i hope this will help.

This is your schema:

 public class test
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string ID { get; set; }

}

This is your validator:

/// 

    /// extension that validates if Json string is copmplient to TSchema.
    /// 
    /// schema
    /// json string
    /// is valid?
    public static bool IsJsonValid(this string value)
        where TSchema : new()
    {
        bool res = true;
        //this is a .net object look for it in msdn
        JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        //first serialize the string to object.
        var obj = ser.Deserialize(value);

        //get all properties of schema object
        var properties = typeof(TSchema).GetProperties();
        //iterate on all properties and test.
        foreach (PropertyInfo info in properties)
        {
            // i went on if null value then json string isnt schema complient but you can do what ever test you like her.
            var valueOfProp = obj.GetType().GetProperty(info.Name).GetValue(obj, null);
            if (valueOfProp == null)
                res = false;
        }

        return res;
    }

And how to use is:

string json = "{Name:'blabla',ID:'1'}";
        bool res = json.IsJsonValid();

If you have any question please ask, hope this helps, please take into consideration that this isn't a complete code without exception handling and such...
