A human-readable textual format for describing JSON that compiles to JSONSchema.
Orderly is a textual schema language for describing and validating JSON data structures. It provides a human-readable format that compiles directly to JSONSchema, making it easier for developers to define complex data models without dealing with verbose JSONSchema syntax. The project includes a reference implementation that can parse Orderly schemas and convert them to standard JSONSchema.
Developers and data engineers who work extensively with JSON data and need a more maintainable way to define and validate data schemas.
Orderly offers a cleaner, more intuitive syntax compared to raw JSONSchema while maintaining full compatibility, reducing cognitive load and improving schema maintainability.
The reference implementation of orderly: a schema language for JSON.

Orderly uses a clean textual format that's easier to read and write than verbose JSONSchema, with a documented grammar in docs.md for clarity.
It compiles directly to standard JSONSchema, ensuring interoperability with existing validation tools, as highlighted in the key features.
Provides detailed grammar and usage documentation, making it accessible for learning and implementation, as noted in the README.
Includes a fully functional parser that can cross-compile between Orderly and JSONSchema formats, demonstrated in the repository.
The project's last major update was in 2009, with no recent activity, indicating potential bugs and lack of modern feature support.
As a niche project from 2009, it lacks community contributions, plugins, and integrations compared to active JSONSchema alternatives.
May not support advanced JSONSchema features or drafts, and the reference implementation might be incomplete for complex validation scenarios.
