What this repository is

This repository contains sample JSON Schemas for various JSON-based formats found around the web.

There are many such formats, and this repository contains schemas for whatever formats I happened to stumble upon.

Existing schemas in this repository

This repository contains schemas for the following:

Note: these schemas are probably not perfect. See below.

I have read the relevant specifications, but I certainly have missed some points in them, and as a result these schemas may not be accurate. Not to mention that some constraints expressed by these specifications are not enforceable by JSON Schema.

Requests and contributions

Both are welcome:

  • if you stumble upon a JSON data format which you would like a JSON Schema for, feel free to open a feature request so that a schema be written for that format;
  • if you spot an error on a schema (data which should validate but does not, or the opposite), you can provide sample data and the expected and actual results, using the site above; or you can submit a pull request to improve the schema itself;
  • if, on the other hand, you have written a schema for an existing format, and wish to add it to this repository, you are welcome to open a pull request so that this schema be included in the examples. Provided that you are ready to comply to the...
