Notes
-----

.. note::
   - This sub-plugin is not a standalone pluign and works only when used with ``validate`` plugins. This plugin will be used when ``engine`` option of ``validate`` plugin is set to *ansible.utils.jsonschema*.
   - The value of ``data`` option should be either of type *dict* or *strings* which should be a valid *dict* when read in python.
   - The value of ``criteria`` should be *list* of *dict* or *list* of *strings* and each *string* within the *list* entry should be a valid *dict* when read in python.

.. hint::
    Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
