October 1, 2020	New Feature	Support RESTful API request validation using JSON schema provided either in Content Type header or Link header.
		Also supports RESTful API payload size validation.
		Optionally supports fail-safe mode for payload size validation. In fail-safe true mode API calls are forwarded even it is more than configured max size but less than max allowed payload size. Refer to Usage section.

The Connector blocks incoming RESTful API request that fails schema validation using given JSON schema.
The Connector also blocks incoming API request based on configured max payload size. If Incoming request payload size is more than configured payload-max-size value then API request is blocked; and the Connector responds to user client with error message.
The Connector validates JSON response against the JSON schema; and if fails, the Connector blocks the response and respond to the user client with error message.
The Connector also blocks the response from backend based on max payload size. If response payload size is more than configured payload-max-size value then the Connector responds to the user client with error message.
Supports pre-processing of API request and post-processing of backend server response.
