JSON to Zod Schema
Generate Zod schema definitions from JSON with AI.
Zod is the most popular TypeScript validation library — but writing schemas manually for every API response is tedious. Paste any JSON object and instantly get a Zod schema with inferred types and a ready-to-use TypeScript type via z.infer<>.

Example: Simple Function
JSON
// JSON
{
"name": "Alice",
"age": 30,
"active": true
}
Zod Schema
import { z } from 'zod';
export const RootSchema = z.object({
name: z.string(),
age: z.number(),
active: z.boolean(),
});
export type Root = z.infer<typeof RootSchema>;
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zod?
Zod is a TypeScript-first schema validation library. You define a schema once and Zod infers the static TypeScript type from it automatically. It is widely used with React Hook Form, tRPC, Next.js, and API validation to ensure data matches expected shapes at runtime.
What does the converter output?
The output includes a named Zod schema const (e.g. export const UserSchema = z.object({...})) and an exported TypeScript type inferred from it (export type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>), plus the required import statement.
Does it handle nested JSON objects?
Yes. Nested JSON objects are converted to nested z.object() calls. Arrays become z.array(z.string()), z.array(z.object({...})), etc. based on their element types.
Do I need to install Zod?
Yes — in your project run: npm install zod. The generated schema uses z from 'zod' which you import at the top of your file.
Is the tool free?
Yes, completely free with no account required.
