Want to learn even more JSON Schema?

The authors of this website are writing a book (Unifying Business, Data, and Code) that covers, for the first time in print, topics like:

Writing your own JSON Schema vocabularies
Understanding JSON Schema annotations
Hosting your own JSON Schema registries

More importantly, our book teaches you a methodology for effective data management that will transform how you think about data.

Check out the Early Release, and keep an eye for the final version early next year.
