Analytics Data JSON schema when creating a Queue

Various data points stored on a Queue Item is stored in a JSON format and we can use a JSON Schema to validate that data is well formed. The validations can be simple to ensure the correct data type is used or contain more complex detail validations. What is a JSON Schema? There a…

I feel like your question is what are the analytics on a queue item for, which isn’t related to the schema in my opinion?

I’m not sure I understand (but I LOVE your post, btw). What I don’t understand is when defining an Analytics Schema is relevant. What’s its purpose? Cheers
