awesome-json-next VS ruby-skyjam

You might look at JSON Next variants (if you remember - "classic" JSON is a subset of YAML), see https://github.com/json-next/awesome-json-next

my own little JSON Next entry / format is called JSON 1.1 or JSONX, that is, JSON with eXtensions, see https://json-next.github.io/

FYI: I collect JSON variants with extension at the Awesome JSON - What's Next? page [1].

I found code generation to be useful in Ruby with protobuf. This:

gives that:

I would certainly enjoy having a DSL to write descriptive code to validate using JSON schema, but it would be even better if the Ruby definitions could be generated and persisted in Ruby files using that DSL.

Also, storing things in basic hash/array types works, but having dedicated types is useful, so that one can ensure not shoving one kind of hash in place of another unrelated kind of hash.

As for types themselves in general, there's RBS and Sorbet. One could have type definition generation as well for even deeper static and runtime checks.
