My struggle with JSON Schema is that not everyone uses it! I do a lot of work with various APIs and ingestion systems that accept JSON, but they don't provide a JSON Schema for me to validate my payloads against. Instead, I often have a human being on the other side emailing me and saying, "Your data structure isn't correct."

It's mildly infuriating. I've taken to using Cuelang[0] to write my own validators based on their specifications. (Using Cue because JSON isn't the only data format I have to support.)

I wish there were an easier way to take some documentation and generate JSON Schema from it. I can take the sample JSON in the docs and generate one, but those samples don't usually contain all the edge cases that the systems complain about, so it's not super useful.
