NOTE: This page lists implementations with (or actively working towards) support for draft-06 or later.

For implementations supporting only draft-04 or older, see the Obsolete Implementations page.

Implementations below are written in different languages, and support part, or all, of at least one recent version of the specification.

Implementations are classified based on their functionality. When known, the license of the project is also mentioned.

If you have updates to this list, make a pull request on the GitHub repo.

Validators

Benchmarks

Benchmarks that compare at least two implementations supporting draft-06+ may be listed here.

  • JavaScript
    • json-schema-benchmark - an independent benchmark for Node.js JSON-schema validators based on JSON-Schema Test Suite (MIT)
  • PHP
    • php-json-schema-bench - comparative benchmark for JSON-schema PHP validators using JSON-Schema Test Suite and z-schema/JSCK (MIT)

Schema generators

Schema generators need not support generating every schema keyword. For schema generators, compatibility with a draft means that either:

  • Schemas produced explicitly set the draft with $schema
  • Schemas produced lack $schema but are valid against the appropriate meta-schema

For example, the only incompatibilities between draft-04 and draft-06 involve exclusiveMinimum, exclusiveMaximum, and id vs $id. If a generator does not set $schema and does not ever emit those keywords, then it is compatible with draft-06 even if it was written with draft-04 in mind.

From code

  • .NET
    • Json.NET (AGPL-3.0) - generates schemas from .NET types
    • NJsonSchema - (Ms-PL) - generates schemas from .NET types, see issue 574 for draft-06+ support progress
  • Golang
    • qri-io/jsonschema(MIT) - idiomatic go implementation with custom validator support, coding to and from json, rich error returns supports Draft 7
  • PHP
    • Liform (MIT) - generates schemas from Symfony forms
  • TypeScript

From data

  • Scala
    • Schema Guru (Apache 2.0) - CLI util, Spark Job and Web UI for deriving JSON Schemas out of corpus of JSON instances; see issue 178 for progress towards draft-06+ support
  • Online (web tool)
    • jsonschema.net - generates schemas from example data
    • quicktype.io - infer JSON Schema from samples, and generate TypeScript, C++, go, Java, C#, Swift, etc. types from JSON Schema

Generators from schemas

Tools that generate artifacts from schemas need not support every keyword, as not all keywords work well for generative use cases.

Generators are considered compatible with a draft if they support (or benignly ignore) the appropriate $schema value, and interpret the keywords that they do support according to that draft.

For example, if a generator that was originally written for draft-04 does not support id, exclusiveMinimum, or exclusiveMaxium, then as long as it does not require a draft-04 $schema, it is compatible with draft-06 since those are the only keywords that changed.

Code generation

  • Online (web tool)
    • quicktype.io - infer JSON Schema from samples, and generate TypeScript, C++, go, Java, C#, Swift, etc. types from JSON Schema
  • PHP

Web UI generation

TODO: Sort by draft support.

Various levels of support for UI generation primarily from the validation vocabulary or combined with UI specific definition.

Data from schemas

None currently support draft-06 or later.

Utilities

Draft compatibility for utilities is generally specific to the purpose of the utility, and decided on a case-by-case basis.

General processing

  • JavaScript
    • json-schema-ref-parser (MIT) Tools for dereferencing non-cyclic schemas, bundling referenced schemas into a single file, and other $ref processing.
    • @cloudflare/json-schema-walker (JSON Schema Tools), draft-07, -06, -04, and Cloudflare’s Doca extensions Walks schemas and runs pre- and post-walk callbacks. Can modify schemas in place. (BSD-3-Clause)

Schema to Schema

Schema draft migration

None currently support draft-06 or later.

Format converters

Testing

  • Python
    • hypo_schema (BSD-2-Clause) Creates generators for Hypothesis from JSON Schema
