For API builders and AI workflow teams

Generate JSON Schema from JSON— free and private in your browser.

SchemaSmith is a free JSON Schema generator that converts pasted JSON into an editable Draft 2020-12 schema. Validate payloads, create mock JSON, repair syntax, copy results, and download files in one place. Your input stays in the browser and is not sent to a server.

Paste JSON and generate a JSON Schema automatically.

Paste a JSON example on the left, such as an API response with id, name, and roles, then select “Generate schema.” The editable Draft 2020-12 output on the right includes inferred types, required fields, nested objects, arrays, and common string formats.

01 JSON payload

02 Editable JSON Schema

Ready for your JSON
Paste or edit a JSON payload, then choose an action. Nothing in these editors is sent over the network.

Privacy boundary: parsing, inference, validation, fixture generation, repair, copying, and export happen with client-side JavaScript.

Fewer guesses between a sample payload and a reusable contract.

Each tool answers a practical question: what shape does this data have, why did validation fail, and what fixture can I use next?

JSON Schema generator

Infer objects, arrays, required properties, primitive types, and common string formats from the payload you already have.

  • Draft 2020-12 schema declaration
  • Nested object and array support
  • Editable output instead of a locked result

Readable JSON validation

Validate against the schema in the editor and receive path-specific errors that point to the property or array item that needs attention.

  • Required, type, enum, and const checks
  • String, number, array, and object limits
  • Local references and composition keywords

Fixtures and AI tool access

Create mock JSON from the current schema, export the working bundle, or run the included MCP server from a compatible AI client.

  • Schema-aware fixture values
  • Downloadable JSON bundle
  • Dependency-free local MCP server

From pasted JSON to a tested schema in three steps.

Paste a representative payload

Use a real example with the fields and nested values your application expects. The data remains in the browser.

Generate and refine the schema

Infer a starting contract, then edit constraints such as required fields, formats, ranges, patterns, or allowed values.

Validate, mock, or export

Test the payload, generate a fixture for development, download the bundle, or bring the workflow into an MCP-compatible client.

Clear answers before you paste production-shaped data.

How do I generate a JSON Schema from JSON?

Paste a representative JSON example into the left editor and select “Generate schema.” An editable Draft 2020-12 JSON Schema appears on the right with inferred types, required fields, arrays, and nested objects.

Does SchemaSmith send my JSON to a server?

No. The workbench uses client-side JavaScript for parsing, schema inference, validation, mock generation, repair, and export. Your payload is not uploaded by these tools.

What does the JSON Schema generator infer?

It infers null, boolean, integer, number, string, array, and object types; nested properties; required keys; merged array item shapes; and common email, URI, date, and date-time formats. You can edit the result before validating or exporting it.

Which validation keywords work in the browser?

The validator supports core type and property checks, local JSON Pointer references, required fields, additional properties, enum, const, allOf, anyOf, oneOf, not, conditional schemas, string and numeric constraints, array limits, unique items, contains, pattern properties, and dependent required fields.

How does the mock JSON generator choose values?

It prefers const, default, example, and enum values when present. Otherwise it creates deterministic values from the property name, type, format, and minimum constraints. The result is intended as a practical fixture that you can review and adapt.

What is the SchemaSmith MCP server?

It is a readable Node.js file generated by this page. It exposes local JSON schema inference, validation, fixture, and repair tools through the Model Context Protocol. Download the file, review it, and add its absolute path to a compatible client.

Can I download the JSON Schema and samples together?

Yes. When the current JSON and schema are valid, select a download button to save schemasmith-bundle.json with the schema, source example, generated mock JSON, and validation result. No signup or email address is required.

Save your JSON Schema and samples in one reusable bundle.

Download schemasmith-bundle.json with the current schema, source JSON example, generated mock JSON, and validation result directly to your device.
