Generate a Microsoft Word resume from JSON Resume data,
online or from your own computer
The JSON Resume format is an open standard, for storing resume content separately from any visual style.
Place your resume data in source control if you like, and track it over time. Even create branches, when you need resume content that is custom-tailored for specific job opportunities.

ResumeFodder gives you a choice of two front-ends. You can generate resumes online, without installing any software. Or you can use a command-line utility, to generate resumes entirely on your local machine with no Internet connection.
ResumeFodder is written in Go, and compiles to a standalone executable with no dependencies.
DownloadResumeFodder supports a handful of extensions to the standard JSON Resume spec. You can have bullet-point highlights in your summary section, group your job history (e.g. "Recent Experience" versus "Prior Experience"), and more.
However, ResumeFodder maintains compatibility with other JSON Resume processors. All of the extension fields are completely optional, and should be ignored if you use your data file with another processor.
