Bowtie and the World of JSON Schema

[benjagm]

Summary:
The world of JSON Schema is immense. JSON Schema tooling exists in countless languages across a variety of uses (data validation of course a noteworthy and prominent one). Implementing the JSON Schema specification(s) in a fully compliant way is not without challenge, meaning as a user of JSON Schema it is important to understand how a particular implementation may deviate such that one can make constructive tooling choices or help implementations improve. Bowtie is a recently created tool to aide in this task, helping to surface the conformance of various JSON Schema tools with the specification by running them against a set of known correct test cases and regularly rendering the results to a web page. But it can do more!

Expected Outcomes:
Enhance (or replace) Bowtie's simplistic current UI so that it most easily answers "what do various implementations say about each test case" -- making it snappier and more featureful
Add support for further JSON Schema implementations by creating Bowtie harnesses in additional languages
Teach Bowtie to compare not only True/False validation results but also the full JSON Schema standardized output formats

Skills Required:
HTML/CSS/Javascript familiarity
Some notion of what JSON Schema is -- or equivalently some experience using a similar data validation tool including writing SQL Schemas for databases
Basic experience with any of a broad set of languages with JSON Schema implementations or curiosity to learn enough about them to write a simple program
Some Python experience a strong plus

Mentors:

Project Repo: tbd

Expected Difficulty:
Easy-Medium

Expected Time Commitment:
175 Hour

Hi,

Hope you're doing well. I have been looking at the project ideas for GSoC and this one really intrigues me. I am confident that my skills and experience make me capable of contributing to the project's success. As someone who has experience using JSON Schema and validating data, I understand the importance of implementing the JSON Schema specification in a fully compliant way.

I have a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL, etc. and I am eager to use my skills to contribute to this project idea. I am eager to learn more about JSON Schema implementation, and I am confident that my curiosity and willingness to learn will enable me to quickly adapt to new programming languages and write simple programs. Moreover, I have some experience with Python, which is a plus, and I am excited to apply it in the project.

I understand the expected difficulty level and time commitment of the project and assure you that I am fully committed to working on it. I am confident that my skills and enthusiasm will enable me to make a valuable contribution to this project.

Looking forward to more details about how one can contribute to this project.

Hey folks! Thanks for expressing interest.

A good first resource is definitely starting by familiarizing yourself with JSON Schema with the learning resources. Understanding JSON Schema in particular is a great resource to read.

You can then also read through a ton of examples of JSON Schema's behavior in the official test suite which is one of the key "sources of truth" Bowtie uses to assess implementations.

And then thirdly you can try and get Bowtie installed. There are some brief install instructions in the docs which should work for macOS or Linux, and once you have it installed there are some usage examples here.

Feel free to follow up if you get stuck, and thanks again, I'm sure we'll be in touch with future GSoC contributors!

Hi folks,
we're currently coordinating with mentors and will provide more details as well as answer questions beginning of next week (week of March 6). Please bear with us.
Best regards.

Greetings, everyone! My name is Semih, and I'm thrilled to be here to share my passion for software development. As a freshman software student, I have been working on various backend projects using technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, Redis and PostgreSQL. I also have familiarity in front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, and React.js.

In addition to my technical skills, I have been actively contributing to the community as a Postman Student Expert for a year. My role involves helping students with APIs and Postman, and this experience has helped me develop my teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.

I'm excited to learn more about this Google Summer of Code project and contribute to the community by leveraging my skills and knowledge. My goal is to expand my expertise in software development and build relationships with fellow developers. I'm confident that this program will provide me with the perfect opportunity to achieve these goals.

Hello Everyone,

I am CS Undergraduate at Gayatri Vidya Parishad (GVP) Visakhapatnam, India. I am always interested in Open Source Projects but never did any remarkable Contribution. As this is one of the prestigious Open Source Campaign where all of the developers Collaborate, share knowledge
and built some useful product.
I have worked on several web related and Machine Learning projects. I have a decent knowledge in HTML, CSS, JavaScript. I'm recently more working on API's and Automation. I worked on Docker, Kubernetes and Google Cloud Platform. To me Learning in public makes the things clear and pretty easy. We built a sample calculator which calculates Fibonacci of nth given number and displays the result. I Collaborated with my peers and seniors and used React, Nodejs , and managed to spin up a local cluster and also deployed in Google Cloud Platform. I have decent knowledge in SQL and able to write basic Queries. I would like to learn more by doing and building. We at our college participated,hosted several hackathons which include collaboration with peers, Coding Competitions.

Thank you

I'll utilise this opportunity to full extent to excel and kickstart my journey in Open Source and my career. I have volunteered in many organisations like GDSC,GDG Vizag and did my part to grow the community. I am eager to undertake the initial qualifying tasks and collaborate with the community towards completing this project.
