Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product for validating a structured data object. A computer system identifies rules for validating interrelationships among data nodes. The data nodes are composable into structured data objects according to a domain specific language. The validation rules are topologically sorted according to dependency relationships declared therein. The computer system receives the structured data object, which consists of interrelated data nodes. The structured data object is traversed according to a traversal algorithm that tracks dependency relationships. Each data node is inserted into a queue according to the traversal algorithm. For each data node in the queue, a subset of the validation rules is identified. The subset is run within a context of the structured data object. Rule failure for the data node are recorded, and a failure report is generated that indicates failure results for each data node.
