Cheatsheets that tools can understand.

ChSON is a small JSON format for writing software cheatsheets in a consistent, tool-friendly way.

Quick example

{
  "$schema": "https://chson.dev/schema/v1/chson.schema.json",
  "title": "Git Essentials",
  "publicationDate": "2026-01-16",
  "description": "Essential git commands.",
  "sections": [
    {
      "title": "Basics",
      "items": [
        {
          "title": "Check status",
          "example": "git status",
          "description": "Show working tree status."
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Add $schema for editor autocompletion and validation.
