Export a JSON Schema document to Markdown documentation.
Project description
jsonschema-markdown
Generate markdown documentation from JSON Schema files. The main goal is to generate documentation that is easy to read and understand.
Can be used as a command line tool or as a library.
Installation
pip3 install jsonschema-markdown
Usage
To use jsonschema-markdown
as a CLI, just pass the filename as an argument and redirect
the output to a file.
$ jsonschema-markdown --help
Usage: jsonschema-markdown [OPTIONS] FILENAME
Load a file and output the markdown.
Options:
--version Show the version and exit.
--help Show this message and exit.
# Example
$ jsonschema-markdown schema.json > schema.md
Usage as a library
To use it as a library, load your JSON schema file as Python dict
and pass it to generate.
The function will return a string with the markdown.
import jsonschema_markdown
with open('schema.json') as f:
schema = json.load(f)
markdown = jsonschema_markdown.generate(schema)
Features
Partially inspired by json-schema-for-humans, this project does not currently support all features of JSON Schema, but it should support:
- Required fields
- String patterns
- Enumerations
- Default values
- Descriptions and titles
- Nested objects
- Basic OneOf, AnyOf, AllOf functionality
- Arrays
- Integers with minimum, maximum values and exclusives
- Boolean values
- Deprecation notices (searches for case-insensitive
deprecated
in the field description)
Caveats
- This project is still in early development, and the output may change in the future.
- Custom definitions are expected to be in the same file as the schema that uses them,
in the
definitions
or$defs
parameter at the root of the document.
