JSON Schema Generator - alpha version available

[Json Schema]

Hello,

An alpha version of the JSON schema generator is available to use.  Over the coming weeks or months I aim to iron out any:

• Schema syntax errors
• User interface defects
• JavaScript exceptions

I also aim to implement:

• Any small UI tweaks / recommendations from those using the tool
• The FAQs page
• A contact form

Implementation of the JSON schema draft version 3 is frozen while I ensure the current version is a as solid, reliable, stable and usable as possible. I really don't want to race ahead if the basic version isn't as good as it could be. Some of the changes since I last posted are:

• New UI for adding and properties and items to an object
• The ability to collapse / expand each schema
• Modifying a schema is much faster since only changes are rendered
• A textarea view to easily Select All and Copy the resulting schema
• Ability to edit the 'key' value of a key/value pair
• General UI tidying
• Drastically improved performance when handling large schemas
• A String view, just because I thought it may be useful

Once I (and any users!) are happy with the stability of the tool, then I will expand the implementation of the JSON schema draft.  With this in mind, I would like to ask which areas of the schema people feel should be implemented first.  

Lastly, I realise development of the tool has taken place on the live site. This is far from ideal and will no longer be the case. Aside from improvements and bug fixes, www.jsonschema.net will always host a working version.

Kind regards,

Jack

I am interested in generation for json file out of default values in the schema. I consider it is very important and use it in my application

Leyart   - Thanks for taking a look. I really hope the tool can become
more and more useful for you.

Sergey - Do you mean you would like a setting that you can 'switch
on', so that defaults are provided for schema attributes when they are
not present in the JSON? For example, "required":false. If so, it is a
good idea, but lots of values have no sensible default, such as
description, name, title, minimum, maximum etc.  Do you imagine these
would just have an empty string as a default and included in the
output?  It sounds like you have a good idea, I'm just no entirely
sure what it is yet.

[Armishev, Sergey]

I think the "default" option makes sense.If let's I choose this option then the schema will looks like below. You would save me then in the future alot of time in writing those defaults manually and then debugging.
