Tool to generate JSON schema from JSON data

Question

We have this json schema draft  I would like to get a sample of my JSON data and generate a skeleton for the JSON schema  that I can rework manually  adding things like description  required  etc  which can not be infered from the specific examples   For example  from my input example json          foo    lorem         bar    ipsum      I would run my json schema generator tool and would get      foo          type     string        required    true       description     unknown          bar          type     string        required    true       description     unknown          This example has been coded manually  so it has maybe errors  Is there any tool out there which could help me with the conversion JSON -  JSON schema

For the offline tools that support multiple inputs  the best I ve seen so far is https   github com wolverdude GenSON   I d like to see a tool that takes filenames on standard input because I have thousands of files   However  I run out of open file descriptors  so make sure the files are closed   I d also like to see JSON Schema generators that handle recursion   I am now working on generating Java classes from JSON objects in hopes of going to JSON Schema from my Java classes   Here is my GenSON script if you are curious or want to identify bugs in it      bin sh ulimit -n 4096 rm x3d json cat  dev null  gt  x3d json find   Downloads www web3d org x3d content examples -name   json  -      print  xargs node goodJSON js   xargs python bin genson py -i 2 -s     x3d json  gt  gt  x3d json split -p      x3d json x3d json python bin genson py -i 2 -s x3d jsonaa -s x3d jsonab  Users johncarlson Downloads www web3d org x3d content examples X3dForWebAuthors Chapter02-GeometryPrimitives Box json  gt  x3dmerge json

After several months  the best answer I have is my simple tool  It is raw but functional   What I want is something similar to this  The JSON data can provide a skeleton for the JSON schema  I have not implemented it yet  but it should be possible to give an existing JSON schema as basis  so that the existing JSON schema plus JSON data can generate an updated JSON schema  If no such schema is given as input  completely default values are taken   This would be very useful in iterative development  the first time the tool is run  the JSON schema is dummy  but it can be refined automatically according to the evolution of the data
