Quick Answer & Understanding Your Result

Source: JSON Schema Official Specification & Draft Standards

An SQL to JSON Schema Converter transforms relational database CREATE TABLE DDL statements into standardized JSON Schema specifications, automatically mapping SQL data types, constraints, and field descriptions for API contract validation.

Core Schema Transformation Features

  • Deterministic SQL Type Mapping: Accurately maps VARCHAR, UUID, INT, DECIMAL, BOOLEAN, TIMESTAMP, and JSONB to JSON Schema primitives and formats (date-time, uuid).
  • Required Constraint Extraction: Automatically identifies NOT NULL and PRIMARY KEY modifiers to populate the required: [...] array.
  • Multi-Table & Definition Scoping: Bundles multiple CREATE TABLE declarations into modular definitions (Draft 7) or $defs (Draft 2020-12).
  • Embedded Comments as Descriptions: Preserves column comments as JSON Schema description properties for self-documenting OpenAPI specs.

Practical Engineering Workflows

  • API Payload Validation: Generating JSON validation schemas directly from existing production database tables.
  • OpenAPI & Swagger Generation: Bootstrapping request/response body schemas for RESTful and microservice APIs.

Paste your SQL DDL statements into the editor above to generate your complete JSON Schema definition in 0ms.

Formula & Calculation Logic

Technical Specification & AST
Mathematical Formula
SQL DDL AST → $schema, type: "object", properties, required

Transformation pipeline:

  • Parses relational table DDL AST, infers column datatypes and non-null constraints, and emits compliant JSON Schema structure.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Paste SQL CREATE TABLE Script

Paste PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite DDL script into the left code editor.

2

Choose Schema Draft Version

Select between JSON Schema Draft 7 (Default) or modern Draft 2020-12.

3

Configure Nullability Options

Toggle nullable type unions (e.g. ['string', 'null']) and comment inclusion.

4

Copy JSON Schema Code

Click 1-Click Copy to grab the formatted JSON Schema for your validation pipeline.

Worked Examples Table

ExampleInput ValuesCalculated ResultExplanation
Users Table with UUID, Email, JSONB & Timestamp
Input: CREATE TABLE users ( id UUID PRIMARY KEY, username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, age INT NULL, is_active BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT true, created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL );, Schema Version: draft-07, Include Descriptions: true, Allow Null By Default: true
{ "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#", "title": "users", "type": "object", "properties": { "id": { "type": "string", "format": "uuid" }, "username": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 50 }, "email": { "type": "string", "maxLength": 255 }, "age": { "type": ["integer", "null"] }, "is_active": { "type": "boolean" }, "created_at": { "type": "string", "format": "date-time" } }, "required": ["id", "username", "email", "is_active", "created_at"] }
Mapped SQL datatypes to exact JSON Schema formats with non-null constraint validation.
E-Commerce Orders & Items (Multi-Table)
Input: CREATE TABLE orders ( order_id VARCHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY, customer_id VARCHAR(36) NOT NULL, total_amount DECIMAL(10, 2) NOT NULL, status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, created_at TIMESTAMP NOT NULL ); CREATE TABLE order_items ( item_id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, order_id VARCHAR(36) NOT NULL, sku VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, quantity INT NOT NULL, unit_price DECIMAL(10, 2) NOT NULL );, Schema Version: draft-07, Include Descriptions: true, Allow Null By Default: true
