Throwing exception on deserializing type/naming-faulty JSON?

Question

Is it possible to make JsonConvert.Deserialize<T>() throw an exception whenever the incoming JSON does not FULLY match specified type's properties' names/types?

It just fills props with default values.

You could use Json.NET Schema at https://www.newtonsoft.com/jsonschema

This is from its home page:

JSchema schema = JSchema.Parse(@"{
  'type': 'object',
  'properties': {
    'name': {'type':'string'},
    'roles': {'type': 'array'}
  }
}");

JObject user = JObject.Parse(@"{
  'name': 'Arnie Admin',
  'roles': ['Developer', 'Administrator']
}");

bool valid = user.IsValid(schema);
// true
