Documentation of Approach to Code from JSON Schema and the IDL Vocab Proposal

Hello. We at JSON Schema are beginning to define a new vocabulary (currently per draft 2020-12, but maybe later depending on release schedules) that defines JSON-Schema-to-code strategies, including possibly some new keywords where the standard keyword set falls short for this task.

As a constraints based model, JSON Schema is not designed for model description, and therefore isn't ideal for code generation. However, that hasn't stopped people from using it that way. Our goal with this new vocabulary is to formalize the approach toward this task.

As a leader in the JSON Schema codegen arena, this project can be a significant contributor to this effort, guiding the development of the vocabulary to align with your current approach.

Questions:

• Is there any documentation on how this project translates particular JSON Schema constructs into code models?
• Would any members of this project like to be directly involved in the development of this new vocabulary?

Also, please feel free to come join the conversation in the JSON Schema Slack workspace.

Thank you.

Start by reviewing the project's existing documentation and implementation notes for translating JSON Schema constructs into code models, then compare that approach with the linked IDL vocabulary proposal. Done means documenting the current mappings clearly and recording whether the project wants to participate in the vocabulary discussion.
