# Schemars [![Travis (.org)](https://img.shields.io/travis/GREsau/schemars?logo=travis)](https://travis-ci.org/GREsau/schemars) [![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) Generate JSON Schema documents from Rust code Work in progress! ## 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 { Unit, StringNewType(String) } fn main() { let schema = schema_for!(MyStruct); println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&schema).unwrap()); } ```
Click to see the output JSON schema... ```json { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title": "MyStruct", "type": "object", "required": [ "my_bool", "my_int", "my_nullable_enum" ], "properties": { "my_bool": { "type": "boolean" }, "my_int": { "type": "integer", "format": "int32" }, "my_nullable_enum": { "anyOf": [ { "$ref": "#/definitions/MyEnum" }, { "type": "null" } ] } }, "definitions": { "MyEnum": { "anyOf": [ { "enum": [ "Unit" ] }, { "type": "object", "required": [ "StringNewType" ], "properties": { "StringNewType": { "type": "string" } } } ] } } } ```
### 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")] 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 { Unit, StringNewType(String) } fn main() { let schema = schema_for!(MyStruct); println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&schema).unwrap()); } ```
Click to see the output JSON schema... ```json { "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title": "MyStruct", "type": "object", "required": [ "myBool", "myNumber" ], "properties": { "myBool": { "type": "boolean" }, "myNullableEnum": { "anyOf": [ { "$ref": "#/definitions/MyEnum" }, { "type": "null" } ] }, "myNumber": { "type": "integer", "format": "int32" } }, "definitions": { "MyEnum": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "null" }, { "type": "string" } ] } } } ```
`#[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 - `chrono` - implements `JsonSchema` for all [Chrono](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono) types which are serializable by Serde. - `derive_json_schema` - implements `JsonSchema` for Schemars types themselves
