Notes on quicktype

[bdarcus]

Quicktype seems to do a pretty good job of generating model code from JSON schemas to different languages, most notably Rust, Haskell, and Go.

It even includes parsing code in the generated code!

But I just realized it also has "experimental" support for direct conversion from typescript.

To assess, then, typescript-json-schema vs quicktype for:

1. the JSON schemas
2. other code

Basically, it may be possible to remove the first, and standardize on the second.

I'm trying to find some sort of library or tool that can programmatically evaluate schema quality and performance, but have not had any luck so far.

A quick grep for "$ref" shows equivalent numbers, but numbers for metadata properties are higher for quicktype. Need to check what that means.

Both validate the same.

But tjs has lots of annotation options to customize output. Does quicktype?
