Ahh I thought it might be better to start the movement at the developer level before asking regular people to opt in. So JSON was meant to be the common denominator for developers, hopefully they build tools that makes the process less technical for the general population.

We actually had to pull our PDF converter due to bugs and are currently just using a service called pdfcrowd.com.

Though the general idea is that HTML can be passed through WebKit and rendered as various image formats and PDF -> http://wkhtmltopdf.org/

Here is a link to what your first idea might look like, it automatically generates forms based of JSON specifications -> http://jeremydorn.com/json-editor/



Hey Thomas,

I'll start adapting resumebeacon.com to support jsonresume. I created my site as a LinkedIn resume generator, so integrating a JSON formatted feed shouldn't be much trouble. I'll start work on it tonight and post it to "show HN" when it's done.


Hey Paul, Loving those themes. I would sort of recommend waiting until the specification grows some legs over the next week but you could go ahead as planned and just mark what you have done at v0.0.0


Sounds good. I'll check back in a week or so...


I see. Seems like a sound approach. If your thought was to get developers on board, then yes, JSON is probably the best way to do it.
