# Schemars [![CI Build](https://img.shields.io/github/workflow/status/GREsau/schemars/CI?logo=GitHub)](https://github.com/GREsau/schemars/actions) [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/schemars)](https://crates.io/crates/schemars) [![Docs](https://docs.rs/schemars/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/schemars) [![rustc 1.36+](https://img.shields.io/badge/schemars-rustc_1.36+-lightgray.svg)](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2019/07/04/Rust-1.36.0.html) Generate JSON Schema documents from Rust code ## Basic Usage If you don't really care about the specifics, the easiest way to generate a JSON schema for your types is to `#[derive(JsonSchema)]` and use the `schema_for!` macro. All fields of the type must also implement `JsonSchema` - Schemars implements this for many standard library types. ```rust use schemars::{schema_for, JsonSchema}; #[derive(JsonSchema)] pub struct MyStruct { pub my_int: i32, pub my_bool: bool, pub my_nullable_enum: Option, } #[derive(JsonSchema)] pub enum MyEnum { StringNewType(String), StructVariant { floats: Vec }, } let schema = schema_for!(MyStruct); println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&schema).unwrap()); ```
Click to see the output JSON schema... ```json { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title": "MyStruct", "type": "object", "required": [ "my_bool", "my_int" ], "properties": { "my_bool": { "type": "boolean" }, "my_int": { "type": "integer", "format": "int32" }, "my_nullable_enum": { "anyOf": [ { "$ref": "#/definitions/MyEnum" }, { "type": "null" } ] } }, "definitions": { "MyEnum": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "object", "required": [ "StringNewType" ], "properties": { "StringNewType": { "type": "string" } } }, { "type": "object", "required": [ "StructVariant" ], "properties": { "StructVariant": { "type": "object", "required": [ "floats" ], "properties": { "floats": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "number", "format": "float" } } } } } } ] } } } ```
### Serde Compatibility One of the main aims of this library is compatibility with [Serde](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde). Any generated schema *should* match how [serde_json](https://github.com/serde-rs/json) would serialize/deserialize to/from JSON. To support this, Schemars will check for any `#[serde(...)]` attributes on types that derive `JsonSchema`, and adjust the generated schema accordingly. ```rust use schemars::{schema_for, JsonSchema}; use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}; #[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, JsonSchema)] #[serde(rename_all = "camelCase", deny_unknown_fields)] pub struct MyStruct { #[serde(rename = "myNumber")] pub my_int: i32, pub my_bool: bool, #[serde(default)] pub my_nullable_enum: Option, } #[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, JsonSchema)] #[serde(untagged)] pub enum MyEnum { StringNewType(String), StructVariant { floats: Vec }, } let schema = schema_for!(MyStruct); println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&schema).unwrap()); ```
Click to see the output JSON schema... ```json { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title": "MyStruct", "type": "object", "required": [ "myBool", "myNumber" ], "properties": { "myBool": { "type": "boolean" }, "myNullableEnum": { "default": null, "anyOf": [ { "$ref": "#/definitions/MyEnum" }, { "type": "null" } ] }, "myNumber": { "type": "integer", "format": "int32" } }, "additionalProperties": false, "definitions": { "MyEnum": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "string" }, { "type": "object", "required": [ "floats" ], "properties": { "floats": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "number", "format": "float" } } } } ] } } } ```
`#[serde(...)]` attributes can be overriden using `#[schemars(...)]` attributes, which behave identically (e.g. `#[schemars(rename_all = "camelCase")]`). You may find this useful if you want to change the generated schema without affecting Serde's behaviour, or if you're just not using Serde. ## Feature Flags - `derive` (enabled by default) - provides `#[derive(JsonSchema)]` macro - `impl_json_schema` - implements `JsonSchema` for Schemars types themselves - `preserve_order` - keep the order of struct fields in `Schema` and `SchemaObject` ## Optional Dependencies Schemars can implement `JsonSchema` on types from several popular crates, enabled via optional dependencies (dependency versions are shown in brackets): - [`chrono`](https://crates.io/crates/chrono) (^0.4) - [`indexmap`](https://crates.io/crates/indexmap) (^1.2) - [`either`](https://crates.io/crates/either) (^1.3) - [`uuid`](https://crates.io/crates/uuid) (^0.8) - [`smallvec`](https://crates.io/crates/smallvec) (^1.0) - [`arrayvec`](https://crates.io/crates/arrayvec) (^0.5)
