JSON Resume Schema

June 12, 2026 · View on GitHub

This repository has moved. The JSON Resume schema specification and all ongoing development now live in the JSON Resume monorepo at jsonresume/jsonresume.org, under packages/schema. This repository is archived and read-only.

What is JSON Resume?

JSON Resume is an open-source, community-driven standard for representing a résumé as a single structured JSON document. The schema defines the canonical shape of a resume.json file — sections such as basics, work, education, skills, projects, and more — so that a person's career data can be authored once and rendered, validated, hosted, and themed by any compatible tool.

Where things went

  • Schema spec + development: https://github.com/jsonresume/jsonresume.org (packages/schema)
  • npm package: @jsonresume/schemaunchanged, still the package to install. It is now published from the monorepo via changesets.
  • Issues: Please open new issues in the monorepo. Existing open issues from this repo were transferred there.
  • Homepage, registry, tooling, and themes: also in the monorepo.

The migration of the schema source into the monorepo landed in jsonresume.org#283. See the org consolidation tracking issue #275 for background.

Installation (unchanged)

npm install --save @jsonresume/schema
