Validator FAQ

Why use this validator before deployment?

It catches common syntax issues early and reduces runtime failures.

Can this replace full runtime tests?

No, use it as a fast first-pass before deeper environment-specific checks.

Should I include validation in CI?

Yes, syntax validation is a low-cost quality gate for configuration and data files.
