About
Orderly is a textual format for describing JSON. Orderly can be compiled into JSONSchema. It is designed to be easy to read and write.
This repository contains lots of different things:
- Documentation and a grammar for the textual schema language, orderly. (see
docs.md) - A reference implementation of a parser than can cross compile between JSONSchema and Orderly
- The orderly-json.org website (see the
websitebranch)
