JSON data collections are usually schemaless. While this ensures several advantages, the absence of schema information has important negative consequences: the correctness of complex queries and programs cannot be statically checked, users cannot rely on schema information to quickly figure out structural properties that could speed up the formulation of correct queries, and many schema-based optimizations are not possible.

To generate random JSON data for populating tests we have developed a new library, jsongen, which given a characterisation of the JSON data as a JSON schema, (i) automatically derives a QuickCheck generator which can generate an infinite number of JSON values that validate against the schema, and (ii) provides a generic QuickCheck state machine which is capable of following the (hyper)links documented in the JSON schema, to automatically explore the web service - title: An Approach for Schema Extraction of JSON and Extended JSON Document Collections url: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8424731 year: 2018 type: paper summary: This paper presents an approach that extracts a schema from a JSON or Extended JSON document collection stored in a NoSQL document-oriented database or other document repository.

This motivates us to study whether negation is actually used in practice, for which aims, and whether it could, in principle, be replaced by simpler operators. We have collected a large corpus of 80k open source JSON Schema documents. We perform a systematic analysis, quantify usage patterns of negation, and also qualitatively analyze schemas. We show that negation is indeed used, albeit infrequently, following a stable set of patterns - title: JSONBuddy url: https://www.json-buddy.com type: tool summary: A JSON editor and validator desktop application for Windows - title: Implicit JSON Schema Versioning Triggered by Temporal Updates to JSON-Based Big Data in the τJSchema Framework url: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-07969-6_3 year: 2022 type: paper summary: This paper proposes an approach for handling implicit schema changes triggered by temporal updates of JSON-based Big Data. More precisely, when a user specifies a temporal JSON update operation that modifies a snapshot JSON component assigning a valid-time timestamp to its new value, the execution of such an operation requires the JSON component to become temporal, which is for all intents a schema change. Thus, a new version of the τJSchema temporal characteristics document is generated, with the addition of a new valid-time characteristic. New versions of the temporal JSON schema and of the temporal JSON document are also accordingly created - title: "τJSchema: A Framework for Managing Temporal JSON-Based NoSQL Databases" url: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-44406-2_13 year: 2016 type: paper summary: This paper proposes a framework called Temporal JSON Schema (τJSchema), inspired by the τXSchema framework defined for XML data. τJSchema allows defining a temporal JSON schema from a conventional JSON schema and a set of temporal logical and physical characteristics. Our framework guarantees logical and physical data independence for temporal schemas and provides a low-impact solution since it requires neither modifications of existing JSON documents, nor extensions to the JSON format, the JSON Schema language, and all related tools and languages - title: AlterSchema url: https://alterschema.sourcemeta.com type: tool summary: Convert a JSON Schema definition between specification versions - title: Introducing SchemaVer for semantic versioning of schemas url: https://snowplowanalytics.com/blog/2014/05/13/introducing-schemaver-for-semantic-versioning-of-schemas/#feedback year: 2014 type: article summary: A proposal for a versioning convention for JSON Schema definitions based on SemVer - title: "JSON BinPack: A space-efficient schema-driven and schema-less binary serialization specification based on JSON Schema" url: https://www.jviotti.com/assets/dissertation.pdf year: 2022 type: paper summary: A survey and benchmark of JSON-compatible binary serialization specifications followed by the introduction of JSON BinPack, a novel protocol-independent schema-driven and schema-less binary serialization specification that is strictly-compatible with JSON and takes advantage of JSON Schema formal definitions to produce bit-strings that are space-efficient in comparison to every considered alternative serialization specification - title: Using Dynamic References to Support Generic Types url: https://json-schema.org/blog/posts/dynamicref-and-generics year: 2022 type: article summary: Representing generic types from strongly-typed programming languages with JSON Schema - title: Uniqueness of Array Items url: https://json-everything.net/json-schema/#a-vocabulary-for-identifying-uniqueness-of-array-items type: vocabulary summary: A vocabulary defining keywords that can be used to validate that arrary instances contain unique values as determined by one or more given paths within each item - title: Accessing Data Stored in JSON url: https://json-everything.net/json-schema/#a-vocabulary-for-accessing-data-stored-in-json type: vocabulary summary: A vocabulary defining keywords that can be used to reference values stored in the instance data, the schema data and external JSON data where the dereferenced values serve as input for keywords in a derived subschema - title: 'Maintaining JSON Schemas at Scale - Jason Desrosiers' url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjJpRsVffg0 year: 2021 type: video summary: In this talk, we will cover the keywords, concepts, and patterns for maintaining large schemas or large collections of schemas.

We then prove that its data validation problem is PSPACE-complete. We prove that the origin of the problem lies in dynamic references, and not in annotation-dependent validation. We study the schema and data complexities, showing that the problem is PSPACE-complete with respect to the schema size even with a fixed instance, but is in PTIME when the schema is fixed and only the instance size is allowed to vary. Finally, we run experiments that show that there are families of schemas where the difference in asymptotic complexity between dynamic and static references is extremely visible, even with small schemas. - title: "Machine actionable metadata models" url: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9525592/ year: 2022 type: paper summary: This paper discussed the use of JSON Schema to define human and machine readable metadata models - title: "Blaze: Compiling JSON Schema for 10x Faster Validation" url: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.02770 year: 2025 type: paper summary: This paper introduces Blaze, a JSON Schema validator compiles complex schemas to an efficient representation in seconds to minutes, adding minimal overhead at build time. Blaze incorporates several unique optimizations to reduce the validation time by an average of approximately 10x compared existing validators on a variety of datasets. In some cases, Blaze achieves a reduction in validation time of multiple orders of magnitude compared to the next fastest validator. We also demonstrate that several popular validators produce incorrect results in some cases, while Blaze maintains strict adherence to the JSON Schema specification. - title: "JSONSchemaBench: A Rigorous Benchmark of Structured Outputs for Language Models" url: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.10868 year: 2025 type: paper summary: This paper introduces JSONSchemaBench, a benchmark for constrained decoding comprising 10K real-world JSON schemas that encompass a wide range of constraints with varying complexity. We pair the benchmark with the existing official JSON Schema Test Suite and evaluate six state-of-the-art constrained decoding frameworks, including Guidance, Outlines, Llamacpp, XGrammar, OpenAI, and Gemini. Through extensive experiments, we gain insights into the capabilities and limitations of constrained decoding on structured generation with real-world JSON schemas. - title: "Elimination of annotation dependencies in validation for Modern JSON Schema" url: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.11288 year: 2025 type: paper summary: This paper proves that the elimination of annotation dependent keywords cannot, in general, avoid an exponential increase of the schema dimension. We provide an algorithm to eliminate these keywords that, despite the theoretical lower bound, behaves quite well in practice, as we verify with an extensive set of experiments.
