An open standard for resumes, written as JSON. Write your resume once as structured data, then render it with any theme, host it at a free URL, validate it, and convert it to other formats. It's portable and has no lock-in. The project has been community-run since 2014.

Host it online (no install): create a public GitHub Gist named resume.json, then open https://registry.jsonresume.org/<your-github-username>. Choose a theme with {"meta": {"theme": "elegant"}} in the file or ?theme=elegant in the URL.

Work locally with the CLI:

npm install -g resume-cli
resume init        # create a starter resume.json
resume validate    # check it against the schema
resume serve       # preview it in the browser

Everything is developed in one repo: jsonresume/jsonresume.org. It contains:

Also here: mcp, an MCP server that lets your AI coding assistant update your resume as you work.

The older standalone repos (resume-schema, resume-cli, resume-website, …) are archived. Their code now lives in the monorepo.
