JSON to Zod schema generator
Convert any JSON sample to a Zod schema in your browser. Output is a `z.object` definition with a matching `z.infer` type. Privacy-first, runs entirely client-side.
# context
Zod is the go-to TypeScript validation library: define a schema once and derive both the runtime parser and the static type. Generating Zod schemas by hand is repetitive when the JSON has 20+ fields. Paste the sample, get the schema, drop it into your validation boundary.

import * as z from "zod";
export const UserSchema = z.object({
"id": z.number(),
"name": z.string(),
"email": z.string(),
"active": z.boolean(),
"roles": z.array(z.string()),
"createdAt": z.coerce.date(),
});
export type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>; → Open in JSON to Types generator (pre-filled)
# notes
- Use `.parse()` or `.safeParse()` at the boundary where untrusted data enters your code.
- Add `.email()`, `.uuid()`, `.min()`, `.max()` and other refinements after generation for tighter validation.
- Date strings are inferred as `z.coerce.date()` which parses ISO 8601 automatically.
