JSON Schema Collection

A curated collection of JSON schemas for standardizing various data structures. These schemas provide consistent patterns for data validation and documentation across different domains.

Overview

This repository hosts multiple JSON schemas designed to:

• Provide clear data structure definitions
• Enable data validation
• Ensure consistency in data formats
• Document data requirements
• Support interoperability between systems

Available Schemas

• Version control and compatibility tracking
• Clear authorship and licensing information
• Status management (draft, stable, deprecated, retired)
• Documentation requirements
