Pro tip, just creating your own schema. Tailor it to your theme.

Here is my resume (as YAML): https://github.com/pauldotknopf/resume/blob/staging/resume.y...

This file is consumed and used in a very small ad-hoc project, specifically for my format: https://github.com/pauldotknopf/resume/blob/staging/statik-r...

Here is the final result: https://resume.pknopf.com/

Easy maintenance. Maximum flexibility. Low tooling.

I use JSON to store my resume, and Latex to format it.

Here is a snippet:

```

\begin{luacode}

require("lualibs.lua")

local file = io.open('data.json')

local jsonstring = file:read('*a')

file.close()

local jsonData = utilities.json.tolua(jsonstring)

-- Header -- local personal = jsonData["personal"]

-- Education -- local education = jsonData["education"]

tex.print('\\section{Education}')

for key, value in pairs (education) do

  tex.print('\\cventry{' .. value["year"] .. '}{' .. value["degree"] .. '}{' .. value["school"] .. '}{' .. value["location"] .. '}{}{' .. value["specialty"] .. '}')

end

```

LaTeX + ORG mode is an easy way to get some literate programming features while also still using a real typesetting engine. You can reuse my setup here:

Thank you! and thanks for not forcing bibtex into it.

Yeah, I've done the same, though I kind of went egregiously over the top (academic website with vue.js + tex resume with all kinds of machinery generated from a bunch of yaml files): https://github.com/paultopia/websiterevision2017

YAML + mostly markdown: https://github.com/john-bokma/resume-pandoc

Creates LaTeX or PDF.
