The Transaction Schema Files
============================

BigchainDB checks all :ref:`transactions <The Transaction Model>`
(JSON documents) against a formal schema
defined in some JSON Schema files named
transaction.yaml,
transaction_create.yaml and
transaction_transfer.yaml.
The contents of those files are copied below.
To understand those contents
(i.e. JSON Schema), check out

by Michael Droettboom or
`json-schema.org <http://json-schema.org/>`_.
