We are using it in production for more than a year. Primarily to define schema for jobs that process terabytes of data on cloud, on-demand.

Re: Ask HN: Is anyone using json schema?
#12Someone here tried it but we quickly gave up on it. - It's ugly and borderline impossible to write by hand because it's JSON. To document something complex your JSON objects get 20 layers deep and you don't get any decent commenting. - Because it's so hard to read, it's useless by itself as a guide to how the JSON should be structured. - Someone would change the code and always forget to update the schema to match. I…
> - Someone would change the code and always forget to update the schema to match. It only makes sense if you're somehow generating the code from the schema.
We used http://www.jsonschema2pojo.org/ (via the gradle plugin) on a previous project. I think it worked fairly well.

#13We adopted it in the SpeedTracer chrome plugin a while back. We were very happy with the results then. Though, for the stuff I've been working with lately most JSON APIs are defined by protos, and we just bridge with JsonFormat/ProtoTypeAdapter

#14A while back I wrote jsonmerge, a Python library for merging series of JSON documents. The syntax it uses for specifying merging rules is based on JSON schema:

#16We are using it at my current place of work with https://github.com/jdorn/json-editor to generate simple administrative UIs for backing configurations for non-technical users.
It's not a fantastic UX but it works and it's fast to develop.
The docs are sparse but for my money the format is relatively intuitive. I'd prefer to be using XML/XSL/XSLT as they are FAR more powerful, but that's just what you get with JSON.

#17At a previous job (huge enterprise dev org of 1000+ devs, many many siloed teams) we used it for client-side validation of rest service calls.. it was a really easy way of detecting missing/bad data from upstream systems and handling it appropriately.
It was also great for contract testing in CI of other teams' services (warning us if they slipped some breaking change into the build).
