I have a dataframe which has a JSON in one of its column. I am trying to use JSONSchema function to validate the JSON present in the column.

validated_df=df.withColumn(“validated”,validate(col(“json_column”),schema))

This is giving me an error:
TypeError: unexpected type: <class ‘type’>

I know validate function requires an object as instance , how do i convert column to object?
