JSON to TypeScript (Zod) Converter

Convert JSON to TypeScript Zod schemas with inferred types and nested validation support.

How to use

  1. Paste JSON input from your API payload or sample document.
  2. Select your output target and model options.
  3. Generate, review, and copy the result.

Benefits

  • Handles nested objects and arrays from API responses.
  • Reduces manual model writing and naming inconsistencies.
  • Works instantly in browser with copy-ready output.

Best use cases

  • Generate runtime-validated schemas for API boundaries.
  • Infer TypeScript types from Zod schemas with z.infer.
  • Standardize request and response validation in frontend apps.

Type mapping notes

  • Objects map to z.object schemas.
  • Primitive values map to z.string, z.number, and z.boolean validators.
  • Array values map to z.array(itemSchema) definitions.

Implementation tips

  • Keep schema files near network request handlers.
  • Export inferred types alongside schema constants for consistency.
  • Review nullable and optional fields from partial API payloads.

Sample JSON

{
  "id": 101,
  "name": "Ada Lovelace",
  "active": true,
  "roles": ["admin", "editor"],
  "profile": {
    "email": "ada@example.com",
    "score": 9.8
  }
}

Sample output

import { z } from "zod";

export const UserModelSchema = z.object({
  id: z.number(),
  name: z.string(),
  active: z.boolean(),
  roles: z.array(z.string()),
  profile: z.object({
    email: z.string(),
    score: z.number()
  })
});

FAQ

Can I generate nested models from JSON?

Yes. The generator supports nested objects and arrays and outputs corresponding nested model definitions.

Can I force generated fields to optional?

Yes. Use the Force Optional toggle in the app toolbar when you need optional fields in the generated output.

Why use TypeScript Zod over plain interfaces?

Zod adds runtime validation while still generating static TypeScript types, reducing unsafe assumptions from unknown JSON.
