Template Form Builder From JSON Schema

For you to easily understand this article, we will explain to you first what is JSON SchemaJSON (JavaScript Object Notation) Schema allows you to interpret and validate JSON documents. It is a great tool for ratifying the structure of JSON Data. JSON Data is an open-standard format that uses clear human-readable documents in an organized, user-friendly manner.

We have implemented template form builder from JSON Schema so you can easily create a template. If you are not comfortable or have less knowledge about HTML codes, this feature is an advantage for you. This is useful for templates that mostly use form elements like textbox, radio, checkbox, dropdown, etc. The feature will generate HTML code from JSON when imported to our TTV.

This is an example of JSON Schema elements:

When you import this JSON Schema in our TTV, it will be converted into HTML code and redirects you to “Create Template” page and this will be the outcome:

Importing or generating template using JSON Schema on TTV is simple, just go to “My Templates” page and click the “Choose File” button then Import. The file extension should be .json.

Supported data types are as follows (case-insensitive):
