The contentMediaType keyword in JSON Schema specifies the MIME type of the contents of a string. It is used to annotate the type of media contained within a string. It should be noted that:

  • This keyword is purely an annotation and does not directly affect validation.
  • It describes the media type of the binary string after it has been decoded as specified in contentEncoding.
  • It is recommended to set contentEncoding if contentMediaType is declared.
