JSON Structure (json-structure.org)

JSON Structure has emerged as a powerful schema language designed to define data types and structures that align seamlessly with programming language types and database constructs, as well as the widely-used JSON data format. This new language enriches modern applications by enabling developers to include rich annotations that carry semantic meaning, which can be easily interpreted by both human users and large language models (LLMs). Key highlights of JSON Structure include its unique type definitions, such as UUID for identifiers and decimal types for financial data, alongside comprehensive support for properties like tags and attributes. Significantly, JSON Structure differentiates itself from traditional JSON Schema by prioritizing data definition over mere document validation, thus offering a robust framework for developers aiming to use or implement JSON structures more effectively. With official SDKs available in diverse programming languages—from TypeScript and Python to Rust and Swift—developers can easily integrate JSON Structure into their projects. Additionally, the release includes a VS Code extension that further simplifies schema validation and instance validation against JSON Structure schemas, enhancing the development experience and promoting standardization in data handling across various applications.
