The JSON Schema spec was abandoned by its original authors, and was picked up by a series of other people with varying levels of standards experience (myself included). Personally, I had some promising support from my then-employer (including an IETF connection), but then it kind of petered out, and I was buried under other stuff and had to pass it on. The team who picked it up since them seem pretty on-the-ball as far as I can see, so I would still recommend it as a useful project to contribute to. It is supported by some tools - last I heard, Visual Studio could use JSON Schema for autocomplete and validation, as well as a couple of databases. I used to get a few million NPM downloads a month on my validator, so someone's clearly using it.

There's also the excellent dtsgenerator which converts json schemas to typescript type definitions.

As far as I know, Snowplow is one of the largest active users of JSON Schema, and we maintain one of the larger repositories of JSON Schemas on the internet, https://github.com/snowplow/iglu-central https://github.com/snowplow/iglu-central After something of a hiatus, we are re-starting active work on our schema registry technology (https://github.com/snowplow/iglu https://github.com/snowplow/iglu). We'd love to be involved in new design work on the JSON Schema spec. How do we get the old (or new!) band back together?
