JSON Resume Schema

Standard, Specification, Schema

Important Note

The current working version of the schema is v1.0.0 that is represented by the master branch and the files schema.json and sample.resume.json.

All PR’s for the next version should be made against the develop branch.

This enforces that the schema package always has the official stable release of the schema.

Homepage and Registry

If you are looking for the homepage, registry, tooling or themes, see the JSON Resume monorepo

Getting started

npm install --save @jsonresume/schema

To use

import resumeSchema from '@jsonresume/schema';
resumeSchema.validate(
  { basics: { name: "Thomas" } },
  function (err, report) {
    if (err) {
      console.error("The resume was invalid:", err);
      return;
    }
    console.log("Resume validated successfully:", report);
  },
  function (err) {
    console.error("The resume was invalid:", err);
  }
);

Or against a full resume.json

import fs = require('fs');
import schema from 'resume-schema';
const resumeObject = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./resume.json', 'utf8'));
resumeSchema.validate(resumeObject);

The JSON Resume schema is available from:

require("resume-schema").schema;

Versioning

JSON Resume Schema adheres to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0. If there is a violation of
this scheme, report it as a bug. Specifically, if a patch or minor version is
released and breaks backward compatibility, that version should be immediately
yanked and/or a new version should be immediately released that restores
compatibility. Any change that breaks the public API will only be introduced at
a major-version release. As a result of this policy, you can (and should)
specify any dependency on JSON Resume Schema by using the Pessimistic Version
Constraint with two digits of precision.

We use automatic semver system.

Pull requests titles should be formatted as such

"fix: added something" - will bump the patch version
"feat: added something" - will bump the minor version

major version bumps will be few and far between for this schema.

Job Description Schema

A draft schema for job descriptions is available in this project as well. It is not yet finalized, but we encourage you to check it out and provide feedback. See job-schema.json and sample.job.json.

The JSON Job schema is available from:

require("resume-schema").jobSchema;
