Title

FedRAMP JSON Schemas

Control changed

Before · 2026.09.13.02

Providers MUST supply machine-readable information in JSON documents that are valid against the corresponding JSON schema when a rule contains a FedRAMP JSON schema, UNLESS otherwise specified in the rule.

After · 2026.10.05.01

Providers MUST supply machine-readable information in JSON documents that are valid against the corresponding JSON schema when a rule contains a FedRAMP JSON schema, UNLESS otherwise specified in the rule; public JSON data MUST be supplied in a manner compatible with modern web frameworks, including:
- Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) should allow web applications running on a different domain to access the public JSON data directly.
- Proper web application headers should be supplied for public JSON data, including at least setting Content-Type to application/json and X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff.

Discussion changed

FedRAMP JSON schemas are designed to be lightweight and flexible to establish a minimum set of structured information while allowing providers to improve on the format and structure of the information as needed to meet their needs and the needs of their customers.

After · 2026.10.05.01

FedRAMP JSON schemas are designed to be lightweight and flexible to establish a minimum set of structured information while allowing providers to improve on the format and structure of the information as needed to meet their needs and the needs of their customers.
Public JSON data is intended to be consumed by FedRAMP, agency GRC tools, and more - it should be available in a way that enables standard web-application use following standard web frameworks. Generally, if you can't write a web app to parse this data without configuring a browser to bypass security defaults then there has likely been a problem.
The Schema Validator available at fedramp.gov will not work properly if Cross-Origin Resource Sharing is not properly configured.
