JSON Resume — media factsheet
Checked: 21 October 2026

SHORT DESCRIPTION
JSON Resume is a community-developed, open-source schema for expressing a résumé as JSON. Started in 2014 by Thomas Davis and Roland Sharp, it separates career information from presentation so compatible tools can use the same data to build documents and portfolio websites.

FOUNDER BIO
Thomas Davis co-founded JSON Resume with Roland Sharp in 2014. His contributions include work on the project's schema, command-line tools and hosted registry.
