Iglu is a machine-readable, open-source schema repository for JSON Schema from the team at Snowplow Analytics. A schema repository (sometimes called a registry) is like npm or Maven or git, but holds data schemas instead of software or code.
Iglu is used extensively in Snowplow. For a presentation on how we came to build Iglu, see this blog post.
Iglu consists of two key components:
- Clients that can resolve schemas from one or more Iglu repositories
- Servers that can host an Iglu repository over HTTP
We also operate Iglu Central (repo), which is like RubyGems.org or Maven Central but for storing publically-available JSON Schemas.
At this time, Iglu only supports self-describing JSON Schemas that use SchemaVer.
