Bundling

jsonschema bundle <schema.json>
  [--http/-h] [--verbose/-v] [--resolve/-r <schemas-or-directories> ...]
  [--extension/-e <extension>] [--ignore/-i <schemas-or-directories>]
  [--without-id/-w]

A schema may contain references to remote schemas outside the scope of the given schema. These remote schemas may live in other files, or may be server by others over the Internet. JSON Schema supports a standardized process, referred to as bundling, to resolve remote references in advance and inline them into the given schema for local consumption or further distribution. The JSON Schema CLI supports this functionality through the bundle command.

Warning

A popular use case for JSON Schema is providing auto-completion for code editors. If you plan to use your bundled schema for this, keep in mind that at the time of this writing, Visual Studio Code ships with a non-compliant implementation that does not support the $id and id keywords and that will fail to handle most bundled schemas. As a workaround, we offer the --without-id/-w option to perform bundling without relying on identifiers to make your resulting schemas compatible with Visual Studio Code.

Examples

For example, consider the following schema that references a https://example.com/string remote schema:

{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
  "$ref": "https://example.com/string"
}

The referenced schema is defined in a string.json file that looks like this:

{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
  "$id": "https://example.com/string",
  "type": "string"
}

We can bundle the former schema by registering the latter schema into the resolution context using the --resolve / -r option as follows:

jsonschema bundle schema.json --resolve string.json

The resulting schema, which will be printed to standard output, would look like this:

{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
  "$ref": "https://example.com/string",
  "$defs": {
    "https://example.com/string": {
      "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
      "$id": "https://example.com/string",
      "type": "string"
    }
  }
}
