How to convert Rust structs to JSON Schema – step-by-step guide

This online Rust struct to JSON Schema converter helps you generate JSON Schema from real models (DTOs, structs, and classes) so you can validate payloads, share contracts, and generate mock JSON.

  1. Step 1 – Paste your Rust source

    • Paste the models you want to document into the left editor.
    • Include referenced types in the same snippet so the schema can generate definitions.
    • Use the Sample button to load an example and see the expected input format.

  2. Step 2 – Select the Root struct (if needed)

    • If multiple definitions are detected, choose the root that matches your API payload.
    • The output schema is built around the selected root and may include additional definitions for referenced types.

  3. Step 3 – Review the JSON Schema output

    • Check types, required vs. optional fields, and nested object/array structures.
    • Look for definitions and $ref when your models reference other models.
    • Copy or download the schema for validation, documentation, or schema-first development.

  4. Step 4 – Validate or generate mock JSON

    • Click Generate Mock Data to open the mock generator with your schema preloaded.
    • Validate real payloads against your schema to catch breaking changes early.
    • If you rely on advanced schema composition (for example anyOf/oneOf/allOf), verify the result with a full validator like Ajv.

Schema keyword support note

Generated schemas can include $ref and may be edited to include anyOf, oneOf, or allOf. For complex schemas, use a full JSON Schema validator and dereference before mock generation if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Rust syntax is supported?

Named structs with public fields, nested structs, Option<T>, Vec<T>, arrays, HashMap/BTreeMap, references, lifetimes (ignored for schema), and serde annotations like #[serde(rename = "...")] are supported. Enums are skipped for now, so paste the struct types that represent your JSON payloads.

How are Rust types mapped to JSON Schema?

Primitive types such as String, bool, integers, floats, chrono::DateTime, and uuid::Uuid map to JSON Schema primitives. Vec<T> becomes arrays, HashMap<string, T> becomes objects, and Option<T> automatically marks the field optional.

Does the conversion run locally?

Yes. Everything runs inside your browser, so your Rust code never leaves your machine. Paste structs directly from your project and select the root struct in the settings panel.

How do I get mock JSON payloads?

After the schema is generated, click "Generate Mock Data" to open the Mock Generator with the schema preloaded. Configure locales, array counts, and optional fields to create sample payloads instantly.
