QuerySurge & JSON Files
Validate complex, nested JSON data across modern data architectures
JSON is everywhere.
It powers APIs, microservices, event streams, application integrations, and cloud-native data pipelines.
Its flexibility is also its biggest risk. Nested structures, optional fields, and frequent schema changes make JSON data hard to validate consistently at scale.
QuerySurge integrates directly with JSON files so teams can automate validation, reconciliation, and monitoring without custom scripts or manual inspection.
Why QuerySurge + JSON
JSON is designed for transport and flexibility, not for quality assurance. When JSON files are used to move critical business data, teams still need confidence that the datais complete, accurate, and aligned with downstream systems.
QuerySurge and JSON together allow teams to:
- Validate JSON files against databases, data warehouses, or other file formats
- Catch schema drift, missing fields, and malformed records early
- Replace fragile, one-off validation scripts with reusable tests
- Provide clear, auditable evidence of data quality across pipelines
This is especially valuable in API-driven architectures, cloud integrations, and modern data platforms where JSON is a primary exchange format.
How the Integration Works
Connect to JSON files
QuerySurge reads JSON files directly from file systems, cloud storage, or data pipelines, including nested and hierarchical structures.
Define validation rules
Using SQL-based tests or Query Wizard, teams define rules to validate JSON attributes, arrays, and nested objects, or to compare JSON data with relational sources and targets.
Automate execution
Tests can be triggered on demand, scheduled, or executed automatically when new JSON files arrive or APIs publish data.
Analyze results and exceptions
QuerySurge pinpoints errors such as missing fields, incorrect values, schema mismatches, and record-level discrepancies.
Report and audit
All results are captured with full history, enabling trend analysis, traceability, and audit-ready reporting.
