JSON Schema for export.json ⇧

You can use a JSON Schema with export.json to get editor validation and autocompletion while configuring SFDMU migrations.

This is especially useful in editors such as VS Code, where schema-aware JSON tooling helps detect invalid property names, wrong value types, and missing required structures early.

Example of export.json Configuration ⇧ 

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/forcedotcom/SFDX-Data-Move-Utility/main/schemas/export.schema.json",
  "objects": [
    {
      "query": "SELECT Id, Name FROM Account",
      "operation": "Upsert",
      "externalId": "Name"
    }
  ]
}

Schema File ⇧

Notes:
  • The schema is intended to validate the configuration structure and common property types.
  • The schema allows additional properties to preserve backward compatibility and custom extensions.
  • The mockFields item supports optional locale for localized anonymization patterns.
  • If your editor caches schema files, reload the window after schema updates to refresh validation.
