Validate HTTP API

The /validate endpoints are used to validate object structs, fields, and types.

Validate Job

This endpoint validates a Nomad job file. The local Nomad agent forwards the request to a server. In the event a server can't be reached the agent verifies the job file locally but skips validating driver configurations.

~> This endpoint accepts a JSON job file, not an HCL job file.

Method	Path	Produces
POST	/v1/validate/job	application/json
