JSON Schema generator
Turn a sample of JSON into a JSON Schema. Paste an object, an array or newline-delimited records and it infers the types, properties and array shapes, merges the fields seen across objects into a required list, and recognises common string formats — email, URL, UUID, date and date-time — across Draft 2020-12, 2019-09 or Draft-07.

Frequently asked questions
What is JSON Schema generator?
Turn a sample of JSON into a JSON Schema. Paste an object, an array or newline-delimited records and it infers the types, properties and array shapes, merges the fields seen across objects into a required list, and recognises common string formats — email, URL, UUID, date and date-time — across Draft 2020-12, 2019-09 or Draft-07.
What does a concrete case look like?
{"id": 1, "name": "Ada"} → {"type":"object","properties":{"id":{"type":"integer"},"name":{"type":"string"}}} — the tool shows every step in between, not just the final figure.
When would I actually use this?
Making a machine-generated blob readable, finding the character where a parse fails, and shrinking a file before it ships.
What is the most common mistake?
Assuming valid means correct. A document can parse cleanly and still have the wrong shape for whatever will read it — validation checks the syntax, not the schema.
How is JSON Schema generator different from CSV to JSON converter?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions. CSV to JSON converter: parse CSV text (with header row) into a JSON array of objects, handling quoted fields. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
JSON comment remover is the closest one after this: Strip // and /* */ comments from JSONC to make it valid JSON. Drop a file in rather than pasting it — it is read in your browser and never uploaded.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Flatten / unflatten JSON and JSON formatter, minifier and validator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
Parsing and serialisation follow each format's specification. Key order and whitespace are not semantically meaningful in JSON or YAML, so a reformatted document is equivalent even when the bytes differ.
