JSON Schema Transpiler

Turn your JSON Schemas into types to be used in various languages.

Try Me

• Generate types for:
  • Golang
  • Typescript
  • Rust
  • Python
• handles cycle detection
• automatically determines references
• includes documentation annotations for easy documentation generation with native language tools.
• minimal dependencies (wip)
• Creates 1 type alias per 1 schema
• Autogenerated deterministic titles where missing
• Autoreferencer (removes duplication)
• Code is synchronous - no IO keeps it lean and fast
• Convert schema to types in browser too!

Getting Started

npm install @json-schema-tools/transpiler

const JsonSchemaTranspiler = require("@json-schema-tools/transpiler").default;

const mySchema = {
  "title": "PlowAnimals",
  "description": "an array of animals that are good at pulling things",
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "oneOf": [
      { "title": "Horse" },
      { "title": "Donkey" },
      { "title": "Elephant" },
    ]
  }
};

const transpiler = new JsonSchemaTranspiler(mySchema);

console.log(transpiler.toTypescript());
console.log(transpiler.toRust());
console.log(transpiler.to("go")); // same thing, different form/interface
console.log(transpiler.to("python")); // works with shorthand of the language aswell (py or python)
