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.

JSON Schema generator works straight from this page — free, instant, nothing to install. You will find it under JSON, XML & formats, with CSV to JSON converter and JSON comment remover for the neighbouring cases.

How to use it

  1. Open the tool — no signup or install needed.
  2. Enter your input or adjust the available options.
  3. Get your result instantly, then copy or download it.

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 is the one to open when you need it to 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?

JSON flattener and JSON formatter — 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.

ExplainerJSON Is Simpler Than You Think, and That Is the ProblemJSON has no integer type, no date type, no comments and no schema. Every one of those absences produces a specific bug: a 19-digit ID comes back off by 21, a timestamp becomes a string nobody agreed on, NaN cannot be written down, and duplicate keys are legal. All of it run, in two languages.ExplainerYAML Looks Friendly and BitesYAML is JSON plus a type-inference layer, and the inference is the dangerous part. The same file run through a YAML 1.2 parser and a YAML 1.1 parser: no is a string in one and false in the other, 01234 is 1234 in one and 668 in the other, and 12:30:00 is a number in one of them.ExplainerCSV to JSON: The Five Cases That Break Every ConverterQuoted delimiters, embedded newlines, ambiguous types, duplicate headers and encoding.
