Schema — JSON Resume

What is it?

JSON Resume is a community driven open source initiative to create JSON-based standard for resumes.

Why JSON?

We believe that the strengths of the JSON format makes it a good fit for resumes. It's lightweight, easy to use and it's perfect to build tools for!

We also feel that the JSON Schema is mature enough for writing usable semantics.

Open Source

The schema is open source and community-driven. We release everything we do under the MIT license.

We are also working on a Job Description schema
