+# A2UI C++ Agent implementation
+
+The `a2a_agents/cpp/` directory contains the C++ implementation of the A2UI agent library.
+
+## Components
+
+The library provides validation logic for A2UI protocol messages:
+
+*   **`a2ui_validation`**: A library for validating A2UI JSON messages against the schema and semantic rules.
+    *   Header: `include/a2ui/validation.hpp`
+    *   Source: `src/validation.cpp`
+
+## Running tests
+
+The project uses CMake and GoogleTest.
+
+1.  Navigate to the C++ agent directory:
+    ```bash
+    cd a2a_agents/cpp
+    ```
+
+2.  Create a build directory and configure:
+    ```bash
+    mkdir -p build
+    cd build
+    cmake ..
+    ```
+
+3.  Build and run the tests:
+    ```bash
+    make
+    ./test_validation
+    ```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+The following dependencies are automatically fetched via CMake `FetchContent`:
+*   [nlohmann/json](https://github.com/nlohmann/json): JSON for Modern C++
+*   [pboettch/json-schema-validator](https://github.com/pboettch/json-schema-validator): JSON Schema Validator for JSON for Modern C++
+*   [GoogleTest](https://github.com/google/googletest): Google Testing and Mocking Framework

+ * Validates the A2UI JSON payload against the provided schema and checks for integrity.
+ *
+ * The payload can be a single message object or an array of message objects.
+ *
+ * Checks performed:
+ * 1.  **JSON Schema Validation**: Ensures payload adheres to the A2UI schema.
+ * 2.  **Component Integrity**:
+ *     -   All component IDs are unique.
+ *     -   A 'root' component exists.
+ *     -   All unique component references point to valid IDs.
+ * 3.  **Topology**:
+ *     -   No circular references (including self-references).
+ *     -   No orphaned components (all components must be reachable from 'root').
+ * 4.  **Recursion Limits**:
+ *     -   Global recursion depth limit (50).
+ *     -   FunctionCall recursion depth limit (5).
+ * 5.  **Path Syntax**:
+ *     -   Validates JSON Pointer syntax for data paths.
+ *
+ * @param a2ui_json The JSON payload to validate.
+ * @param a2ui_schema The schema to validate against.
+ *
+ * @throws std::invalid_argument If integrity, topology, or recursion checks fail, or if payload does not match schema.
