Similar Technologies

While we think that JSON Schema has a unique value proposition, we'd like to provide visibility to other technologies that share similar goals:

JSON Constraint Rules (JCR): JCR aims to provide a more expressive way to define constraints on JSON data compared to JSON Schema. While still under development, you can learn more about it on GitHub: http://codalogic.github.io/jcr/.
CBOR Constrained Data Description Language (CBL): Similar to JCR, CBL focuses on describing constraints, but specifically for the CBOR data format. Dive deeper into CBL in the CBL IETF draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cordell-jcr-co-constraints/.
CBOR Data Definition Language (Cddl): While not strictly focused on constraints, Cddl allows defining the structure of CBOR data. Check out the Cddl IETF draft: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl-08 for more information.

At JSON Schema, we value docs contributions as much as every other type of contribution!

Learning JSON Schema is often confusing, but don't worry, we are here to help!.
