In our Integration projects, especially nowadays on Azure Integration Services, we often work with JSON messages. And despite Logic App Designer allowing us to generate a JSON schema based on a JSON payload (or JSON message), there are many situations that we find ourselves in the need to create a JSON Schema outside the Logic App. One good example is when we are creating a map inside the new Data Mapper.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any out-of-the-box capabilities inside the new Data Mapper to generate a JSON Schema from a JSON Message, so we only have two options:
- Create a dummy Logic App to generate the JSON Schema and then manually copy it and save in the Artifacts folder;
- Or we will use free online tools like this one: https://www.liquid-technologies.com/online-json-to-schema-converter, but what annoys me about these online tools is that all data are stored in their log files, and sometimes for privacy/security concerns that can be a problem.
Mainly because of these reasons, I decide, along with my team, to start creating these free tools with the source code available on GitHub in order to not raise the same suspicions.
