Automatically guesstimate a JSON Schema from the contents of a MongoDB collection

Installation

install jsonschemer

Usage

schemer [options] <db connection string> <collection>

Valid options are:

• -q, --query, filter the documents to analyze using the specified JSON query.
• -l, --limit, limit the number of documents to analyze.
• -m, --maxEnum, limit the number of possible enum values. When encountering a string type, the tool assume its possible values are fixed and starts adding each encountered value to an enum clause in the schema. If more than maxEnum different values are found, the enum is dropped from the schema.

Example

schemer -q '{ "surname":"Smith" }' mongodb://10.0.0.1:27017/my_db users

Usage with Node.js

The exports of the library are a single function, accepting an options object and returning a promise resolved to the resulting JSON Schema.

Options can have the following properties:

• db, required, a MongoDB database object (as returned by MongoClient.connect) or a connection URI string.
• collection, require, the MongoDB collection to query.
• q, optional, a query to filter the documents in the collection.
• limit, optional, maximum number of documents to analyze.
• maxEnum, optional, default 20, maximum number of items in a schema enum.

Example

schemer = require('jsonschemer');

mer({
: 'mongodb://10.0.0.1:27017/my_db'
llection: 'users',
xEnum: 20,
 { surname: 'Smith' }
hen(function(schema) {
nsole.log(JSON.stringify(schema, null, 2));
