Answer 1

There is no percentage type in json schema.

You could do this:

{
  "type": "number",
  "minimum": 0,
  "maximum": 1,
}

and use the fraction.

Or if you want to use numbers between 0 and 100:

{
  "type": "number",
  "minimum": 0,
  "maximum": 100,
}

Also, you could add the "multipleOf" keyword to specify how much decimals you want. For example "multipleOf: 0.1" (for 1 decimal) or "multiplpeOf: 0.01" (for 2 decimals)
