So how do you validate the data? You can apply all the changes to existing record and validate the result, but then you need to put everything in memory. Verifying the operations however sounds dangerous... Any pointers?

Also, if someone is using this in production: any gotchas?

If you are using Java, you may want to check out the library I created for American Express and open sourced, unify-jdocs - it provides for working with JSON documents outside of POJOLand. For validations, it also has the concept of "typed" document using which you can create a document structure against which all read / writes will be validated. Far simpler and in my opinion as powerful as JSONSchema. https://github.com/americanexpress/unify-jdocs.
