I know it's a little heavy weight, but there is already an open standard around this: http://www.hropenstandards.org/

Reinventing?



It appears you have to register for an account on that site AND wait for your membership to be approved before you can even download a standard or view documentation.

If that standard is important and well designed, it should be trivial to write a converter from JSON Resume.

You can download without being a member. There is a Download Standards page that anyone can download from. It's pretty straightforward.
