README

packages/schema provides schema mapping and JSON Schema rendering/parsing for Instructor.

Main entry points

• Cognesy\Schema\SchemaBuilder - fluent builder for runtime object schemas.
• Cognesy\Schema\SchemaFactory - build Schema objects from PHP types, classes, objects, or JSON Schema providers.
• Cognesy\Schema\CallableSchemaFactory - build Schema from callable signatures.
• Cognesy\Schema\TypeInfo - type normalization and helpers based on Symfony TypeInfo.
• Cognesy\Schema\JsonSchemaRenderer - render Schema to JSON Schema.
• Cognesy\Schema\JsonSchemaParser - parse JSON Schema into ObjectSchema.

Quick start

<?php
use Cognesy\Schema\SchemaFactory;

$factory = SchemaFactory::default();

$schema = $factory->schema(User::class);
$jsonSchema = $factory->toJsonSchema($schema);

Build schemas directly

<?php
use Cognesy\Schema\SchemaBuilder;

$schema = SchemaBuilder::define('user')
 ->string('name', 'User name')
 ->int('age', required: false)
 ->collection('tags', 'string', required: false)
 ->schema();

Nullable and default metadata

<?php
use Cognesy\Schema\SchemaFactory;
use Symfony\Component\TypeInfo\Type;

$factory = SchemaFactory::default();

$nickname = $factory->propertySchema(
 type: Type::string(),
 name: 'nickname',
 description: 'Optional nickname',
 nullable: true,
 hasDefaultValue: true,
 defaultValue: null,
);

nullable, hasDefaultValue, and defaultValue are preserved when converting:

• PHP reflection -> Schema
• Schema -> JSON Schema
• JSON Schema -> Schema

Enum values are preserved as declared (string-backed and int-backed enums are both supported in JSON Schema output).

Parse JSON Schema

<?php
use Cognesy\Schema\JsonSchemaParser;

$parser = new JsonSchemaParser();
$objectSchema = $parser->fromJsonSchema($jsonSchemaArray);
