How to convert Scala case classes to JSON Schema – step-by-step guide

This online Scala case class 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 Scala 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 type (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 Scala types are supported?

The converter reads case classes and regular classes with constructor parameters. It handles Option[T], collections (List/Seq/Vector/Array/Set), maps, default values, and basic primitive types. Nested case classes are supported as long as they appear in the same snippet.

How does type inference work?

Primitive types (String, Int, Long, Double, Boolean, BigDecimal, Instant, UUID, etc.) map to JSON Schema primitives with formats. Collections become arrays, maps become objects, and Option[T] marks fields as optional. Unknown types fall back to strings unless another case class with that name exists.

Does it support Scala 3 and older syntax?

Yes. As long as the class definition follows the standard case class syntax, the tool will parse it. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your source code remains private.

How can I create mock JSON data?

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