Just we can validate an incoming XML file based on the pre-defined schema, i.e. XSD or DTD, can we performation a validtaion on an incoming JSON object. Is there any JSON Schema Definition available?

JSON Schema is a powerful tool. It enables you to validate your JSON structure and make sure it meets the required API. You can create a schema as complex and nested as you need, all you need are the requirements. You can add it to your code as an additional test or in run-time.
The simplest way to check if JSON is valid is to load the JSON into a JObject or JArray and then use the IsValid(JToken, JsonSchema) method with the JSON Schema. To get validation error messages, use the IsValid(JToken, JsonSchema, IList<String> ) or Validate(JToken, JsonSchema, ValidationEventHandler) overloads.
JSON Schema validation asserts constraints on the structure of instance data. An instance location that satisfies all asserted constraints is then annotated with any keywords that contain non-assertion information, such as descriptive metadata and usage hints.
The primary strength of JSON Schema is that it generates clear, human- and machine-readable documentation. It's easy to accurately describe the structure of data in a way that developers can use for automated validation. This makes work easier for developers and testers, but the benefits go beyond productivity.
There's a working draft of a JSON schema. You could also take a look at Cerny.

There are few libraries, which validate data against JSON Schema....
