How are numbers typed?

All JSON numbers map to Number — Mongoose does not distinguish integers from floats. Use a custom validator if you need integer-only paths.

What happens with null or empty arrays?

null maps to Schema.Types.Mixed and empty arrays to [Schema.Types.Mixed], since their type can't be inferred from the sample.

How are nested objects handled?

Nested objects are inlined as nested path definitions (subdocuments). An empty object becomes {}.

Is my JSON sent anywhere?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

JSON to Mongoose Schema Generator

Developer

Paste any JSON object and get a ready-to-use Mongoose `Schema` with paths mapped to schema types (String, Number, Boolean, arrays) and nested objects inlined as subdocuments. A model export is included. Everything runs locally in your browser — your JSON is never uploaded.

Mongoose schema

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const { Schema } = mongoose;

const autoGeneratedSchema = new Schema({
  name: String,
  age: Number,
  active: Boolean,
  tags: [String],
  meta: {
    id: String,
  },
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('AutoGenerated', autoGeneratedSchema);

How to use

Paste or type your JSON into the input box.
Optionally rename the model (defaults to AutoGenerated).
Copy the generated schema from the output box.
