Validates the syntax of a state machine definition.

You can validate that a state machine definition is correct without creating a state machine resource. Step Functions will implicitly perform the same syntax check when you invoke CreateStateMachine and UpdateStateMachine. State machine definitions are specified using a JSON-based, structured language. For more information on Amazon States Language see Amazon States Language (ASL).

Suggested uses for ValidateStateMachineDefinition:

Integrate automated checks into your code review or Continuous Integration (CI) process to validate state machine definitions before starting deployments.
Run the validation from a Git pre-commit hook to check your state machine definitions before committing them to your source repository.

Errors found in the state machine definition will be returned in the response as a list of diagnostic elements, rather than raise an exception.
