Note: This project is forked from jsonresume/resume-schema to serve the more specific need of maintaining a CV. Please honor the original authors' works and submit your contributions and suggestions (unrelated to CV-specific issues) to the original repository.
Standard, Specification, Schema
We are still currently un-versioned, some core changes are being pushed out, and a version 0.0.0 will be released following Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 best practices. We will be experimenting with a migration.js system, where each change below will be represented with a function that can update an older version of resume.json to the newer versions.
There will be a learning curve for the next few months as to how the ecosystem will revolve around versions.
To keep things simple, JSON Resume tools are only expected to react to major version changes, everything will follow suit only after we reach version 1.0.0. The process for patches and fixes will be informal, and we will try to make everything work for major versions.

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.
