JSON to Zod / Yup Schema Generator
Convert any JSON object or array into a Zod or Yup validation schema instantly. Handles nested objects, arrays, null values, and union types — all in your browser, no sign-up needed.
JSON → Zod / Yup Schema Generator
What does this tool do?
This tool reads a JSON object or array and generates a matching runtime validation schema for either Zod or Yup. It handles all primitive types (string, number, boolean, null), nested objects, arrays of any type, and null-union fields — saving you the tedium of hand-writing schemas for API responses or form payloads.
Zod vs Yup
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema library that infers static types from your schema, making it ideal for full-stack TypeScript projects. Yup is the classic choice for React form validation (especially with Formik), offering a fluent chainable API. Both produce equivalent runtime validation logic — choose whichever your project already uses.
Handling null values
When a JSON field is null, the tool cannot determine the true runtime type. In Zod, null fields are generated as z.union([z.TYPENAME(), z.null()]) or z.null() when no other type hint is available. In Yup, null fields become yup.mixed().nullable(). Enable 'Required fields' for Yup to append .required() to every field.
Why use JSON to Zod / Yup Schema online?
JSON to Zod / Yup Schema in the browser saves context switching: no CLI install, no fragile one-liners, and instant feedback for teammates who do not live in the terminal. It is ideal for debugging, demos, and quick checks during code review.
Tips for best results
Work with a sample payload first, then paste production data. Keep privacy in mind: prefer local browser processing for secrets, tokens, and customer data. Bookmark this page for faster access next time.

常见问题
- What does JSON to Zod / Yup Schema do?
- Convert any JSON object or array into a Zod or Yup validation schema instantly. Handles nested objects, arrays, null values, and union types — all in your browser, no sign-up needed.
- Does it handle nested objects?
- Yes. Nested objects are converted to nested z.object({...}) or yup.object({...}) schemas inline — no separate type declarations needed.
- What happens to null values?
- Null values are represented as z.null() in Zod, or yup.mixed().nullable() in Yup, since the true underlying type cannot be inferred from the JSON sample alone.
- What is Zod strict mode?
- Calling .strict() on a Zod object schema makes it throw a validation error if the input contains keys not present in the schema. It is useful for APIs where unexpected extra fields should be rejected.
- Does it support arrays of objects?
- Yes. Arrays of objects generate z.array(z.object({...})) for Zod or yup.array().of(yup.object({...})) for Yup, with the nested schema inferred from the first item.
- Is this tool free?
- Yes — completely free, no sign-up required. All schema generation happens locally in your browser.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes. All Skybin developer tools are free with no account, API key, or usage limits.
- Does my data get sent to a server?
- No. Processing runs in your browser whenever possible. Sensitive input never leaves your device unless a tool explicitly fetches a URL you provide (e.g. OG Validator).
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes. The tools work in modern mobile browsers, though a desktop screen is easier for large JSON or PDF workflows.
- How is this different from desktop apps?
- There is nothing to install or update. Open a bookmarked URL and start working — ideal for quick tasks during development or support calls.
- Are there keyboard shortcuts?
- Most tools support standard paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) and select-all in text areas. Copy buttons provide one-click output.
- Does Skybin store my history?
- No. We do not log tool inputs or outputs. Refreshing the page clears in-memory state unless the tool encodes state in the URL.
