JSON Schema Generator

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

JSON Schema Generator creates a schema document that describes the form of JSON data, including types, properties, and mandatory properties. Schemas can be used to validate data from an API, form, or configuration file before processing. Generators deduce the rules from the JSON example, so the results need to be reviewed and supplemented. JSON Schema is different from sample data: a schema is a contract, whereas JSON is the contents.

Key points

Generate schemes with types, properties, and required
Schema is used for validation of data structures and types
The output of the generator is based on the sample so it can be less complete.
Property must be listed on the required array
JSON Schema is not encrypted and does not secure data
