What is json2schema.app?
json2schema.app is a free, open-source tool that instantly converts your JSON data into type definitions and validation schemas for multiple programming languages. Built with developers in mind, our tool supports TypeScript interfaces, Python dataclasses, Java POJOs, Zod schemas, and GraphQL type definitions.
Whether you're building APIs, working with external data sources, or need to quickly generate type-safe code from JSON responses, json2schema.app streamlines your development workflow.
Why We Built This Tool
As developers, we often find ourselves working with JSON data from APIs, configuration files, and databases. Manually writing type definitions and schemas is time-consuming and error-prone. We created json2schema.app to solve this problem with a tool that:
- Saves time: Generate schemas in seconds instead of writing them manually
- Reduces errors: Automatically infer types from your JSON structure
- Protects privacy: All processing happens in your browser - your data never leaves your device
- Supports multiple languages: One tool for all your schema generation needs
- Provides instant feedback: Real-time conversion with syntax highlighting
Key Features
100% Client-Side Processing
Your JSON data is processed entirely in your browser. We don't see, store, or transmit your data to any server.
Multiple Language Support
Generate TypeScript, Python, Java, Zod, and GraphQL schemas from a single JSON input.
Nested Object Support
Handles complex nested structures and automatically generates type definitions for nested objects.
Array Type Inference
Intelligently infers array types, including arrays of objects and union types for mixed arrays.
Syntax Highlighting
Beautiful syntax highlighting for both JSON input and generated schemas for better readability.
One-Click Copy
Instantly copy generated schemas to your clipboard and paste them into your project.
Supported Schema Types
TypeScript Interfaces
Generate type-safe TypeScript interfaces with proper type annotations. Perfect for frontend development, API clients, and ensuring type safety across your TypeScript projects.
Python Dataclasses
Create Python dataclasses with type hints. Ideal for API models, data processing, and working with JSON APIs in Python applications.
Java POJOs
Generate Java Plain Old Java Objects with private fields, getters, and setters. Perfect for Spring Boot applications, REST APIs, and enterprise Java development.
Zod Schemas
Create runtime validation schemas using Zod. Essential for form validation, API request validation, and ensuring data integrity in TypeScript applications.
GraphQL Type Definitions
Generate GraphQL schema definitions for your API. Useful for building GraphQL servers, defining types, and creating GraphQL schemas from existing JSON data.
Privacy & Security
Privacy is at the core of json2schema.app. Unlike many online tools that send your data to servers for processing:
- No data upload: All JSON processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript
- No server-side processing: We don't have backend servers that handle your JSON data
- No data storage: We never store or log your JSON input or generated schemas
- Open source transparency: Our code runs in your browser where you can inspect it
This means you can safely use json2schema.app with sensitive data, proprietary APIs, and confidential information without worrying about data breaches or unauthorized access.
Use Cases
API Development
Quickly generate type definitions from API responses to create type-safe API clients.
Data Modeling
Convert sample data into structured data models for your application.
Code Migration
Migrate schemas between different languages and frameworks.
Documentation
Generate clear type definitions to document your API responses and data structures.
Prototyping
Rapidly prototype applications by generating schemas from example JSON data.
Learning
Educational tool for understanding how different languages represent data structures.
Technology Stack
json2schema.app is built with modern web technologies:
- Vanilla JavaScript: No frameworks, just pure JavaScript for maximum performance
- Tailwind CSS: Beautiful, responsive design with utility-first CSS
- Client-side processing: All logic runs in the browser for privacy and speed
- Syntax highlighting: Custom-built syntax highlighter for multiple languages
Free Forever
json2schema.app is completely free to use with no registration required. We support the tool through ethical advertising that respects your privacy. There are no premium plans, paywalls, or usage limits.
We believe developer tools should be accessible to everyone, from students learning to code to professionals building enterprise applications.
Future Development
We're continuously improving json2schema.app. Planned features include:
- Additional language support (Rust, Go, C#, etc.)
- Customizable naming conventions
- Import/export schema configurations
- Advanced type inference options
- Schema validation and testing tools
