Inspect JSON payloads on AWS WAF
AWS WAF can now natively parse request body JSON content, allowing you to inspect specific keys or values of the JSON content with AWS WAF rules. This capability helps you protect your APIs by checking for valid JSON structure, inspecting the JSON content for common threats against your application, and reducing false positives by inspecting only the keys or values in the JSON content.
