My experience is similar, but using RAML instead of Swagger. RAML has built-in support for JSON Schema.

I suppose the use case is somewhat similar to XSD, but this is more intuitive and way less verbose. There's also immediate value in using it to parameterize resource types to stay DRY when you use the same resource across multiple endpoints.

I think of it more for templating than validation.
