SteadyNode Features
Catch API schema changes before they break clients
Catch breaking JSON response changes before client code does. SteadyNode learns the structure of successful responses and flags drift.
Learn the shape of successful responses
Schema Guard builds a baseline from successful JSON responses. It keeps field paths and types, not response values, so checks compare structure without using payload contents as the baseline.
See what changed
Once the baseline is locked, SteadyNode flags removed fields, type changes, unexpected nulls, and arrays that become empty. Each result shows the affected paths and whether the change is breaking.
Review before accepting the change
An API contract can change on purpose. Review the diff, then accept the new baseline with one click. When your policy treats breaking drift as a failure, the monitor can fail and trigger your response flow.
Frequently asked questions
Does schema monitoring store response values?
No. The guard keeps a bounded, value-free structural schema; primitive values from the response are discarded.
When does drift detection begin?
SteadyNode learns from successful responses first. It compares new responses with the baseline after learning is complete.
