Description

The input file validation could be improved, once it is in a standard format (#2897). This could potentially use a library such as cerberus. It could also implement version checking between the input file and the version of Process being used to run it.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the standard input format proposed in issue #2897 and assess how the input file validator should use it. Investigate whether cerberus is suitable, then define validation for the format and version compatibility between the input file and Process; done should include checks for both.
