json-editor VS dynamic_dns

Combined with the fact that the parameter UI is highly dynamic through plugins(like how the extended choice parameters plugin supports defining complex input forms using json-editor means you can use Jenkins as an interface to run any kind of job that requires almost any type of input.

I use JSON schema to generate JSON-editing forms via json-editor: https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor

Then I can use the same schema in the backend to validate the data, both sent in via the form and directly with the application/json content-type. It's a pretty smooth flow, and reduces a lot of redundancy.

I have found stuff similar to this, for example json-editor.

JSON Editor takes a JSON Schema and uses it to generate an HTML form.

Some project followed that way like json-editor

json-editor is a really easy way to build complex forms. The resulting schema is returned as json which you can just convert to yaml. I use this in Jenkins for complex parameters.

https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor was used in the backbone.js version of swagger-ui to generate input forms from json-schema.

I do use it, and it's a nice additional layer in forcing APIs to a) remain consistent and b) increase security. I think the only public program I'm using it in is my dynamic DNS widget:

My main interest in using JSON Schema in the above project was security related: this service sits on the public Internet, by nature I cannot restrict the sources that connect to it (road warrior type systems couldn't send DNS updates!). Having a strict schema is another layer of sanitization on what one nowadays must assume is a malicious source.
