Schema Annotations for Linked Avro Data (SALAD)

Schema Salad (SALAD) is a schema language for describing JSON or YAML structured linked data documents. It provides rules for preprocessing, structural validation, and hyperlink checking, and supports rich data modeling features like inheritance, template specialization, object identifiers, and references. It also enables documentation and code generation, and transformation to RDF, bridging document-oriented data modeling with the Semantic Web. The current version is 8.9.20260327095315, and it appears to have a frequent release cadence, often multiple patch releases per month, indicating active development.
