Good question.

We just had a discussion in the JSON WG about JSON "schema languages"
(or, more generally, ways to describe the JSON data models that we want
to interchange).  "JSON schema" was not necessarily the favorite tool of
all participants of that discussion.

Obviously, I'm a bit biased here (CDDL has been developed by students I
supervised, and I have also written an implementation).  I like CDDL
because it has much less noise than other approaches:

(For those who know XML, this is a bit like Relax-NG compact vs. W3C
Schema.)

There are a few tools for working with CDDL, please see Appendix F of
the draft:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-greevenbosch-appsawg-cbor-cddl-08#appendix-F

While CDDL is still work in progress, its core is quite stable as it is
based on the concepts of ABNF and Relax-NG.

(And you now have a CDDL version of your "JSON schema" draft :-)
