How to Use Playwright to Validate an API Response Schema (PWT-Native and Zod)

In this video, Stefan Judis, Playwright ambassador, explores ways to apply schema validation for API responses. We dive into three detailed examples:

• validating a simple RESTful GET request with known response values
• using Playwright's `expect.any` to validate dynamic response values
• tackling complex JSON schema validation using the Zod library.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll learn how to employ Playwright's native methods or a JSON validation library such as Zod to ensure your API responses meet expected schemas.
