Convert JSON Schema to human-readable Markdown documentation

Project description

jsonschema2md

Convert JSON Schemas to simple, human-readable Markdown documentation.


For example:

{
  "$id": "https://example.com/person.schema.json",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "title": "Person",
  "description": "JSON Schema for a person object.",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "firstName": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The person's first name."
    },
    "lastName": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "The person's last name."
    }
  }
}

will be converted to:

Person

JSON Schema for a person object.

Properties

  • firstName (string): The person's first name.
  • lastName (string): The person's last name.

See the examples directory for more elaborate examples.
