After migrating application from angular 5 to 6, on running ng serve the following errors pop up.

Schema validation failed with the following errors: Data path "" should NOT have additional properties(project).

I assume that the error is with .angular.json file which I re-named from .angular-cli.json .

My .angular.json file is as follows :

Any help would be great.
