JSON to Content Type Builder

JSON Content Builder is a user-friendly Drupal module that lets you create custom content types and fields simply by pasting or uploading a JSON structure. Ideal for new and experienced site builders, it removes the need for manual field creation and speeds up prototyping and content modeling.

Features

• Paste or upload a JSON structure to generate a new content type with fields.
• Supports common field types such as:
  • string
  • text
  • boolean
  • integer
  • entity_reference (e.g., referencing users or taxonomy terms)
• Provides simple UIs to create and manage content based on JSON structure.
• No manual field creation or YAML writing required.
• Perfect for prototyping, migrations, or empowering non-developers to define content models.

Post-Installation

1. Enable the module from the Extend page or using Drush: drush en json_content_builder -y.
2. Navigate to the following admin pages:
   • Build a content type from JSON: /admin/config/content/json-content-builder
   • Create content from JSON data: /admin/content/json-content-create
   • Export content to JSON file: /admin/content/json-export
3. Follow the instructions in each form to generate content types, create nodes, or export content.

There is no need to manually manage field storage or bundle configuration — the module handles it for you.

Additional Requirements

• No additional modules or libraries are required beyond Drupal core.
• Optional: Make sure referenced entities (like user or taxonomy_term) exist when using entity_reference field types.

Recommended modules/libraries

• Field Group – to organize generated fields visually.
• Admin Toolbar – for easier navigation to the config form.
