Description

Lottie 1.0 officially released last week, and came with a comprehensive lottie spec JSON schema.

https://lottie.github.io/lottie-spec/latest/specs/schema/

There is a library called `typify` we can use to export rust bindings for this schema to replace the serde parser.

Research direction

Start with the current serde parser and compare its types with the Lottie 1.0 schema at the linked specification. Read typify's Rust binding generation workflow, then determine how the generated bindings can replace the existing parser while preserving the supported schema data. Done means the parser uses generated bindings and existing Lottie parsing and rendering behavior remains functional.
