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.

Getting started

npm install --save resume-schema

To use

const resumeSchema = require("resume-schema");
resumeSchema.validate(
  { 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);
  }
);

More likely

var fs = require("fs");
var resumeSchema = require("resume-schema");
var 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.
