Limitations

[bdarcus]

The conversion isn't perfect.; either to JSON schema, or directly from the typescript.

From what I can tell, it means it's looser in places than intended.

See, for example:

bdarcus/csl-next#146

I've included this static file of what it should be, since it's easier to manually write it.

https://github.com/bdarcus/csln-rs/blob/main/src/bibliography/mod.rs

Also tried to isolate those patterns to smaller files that I can manually maintain, but still have these ATM:

csln.rs
1202:    AnythingArray(Vec<Option<serde_json::Value>>),

src/style/options.rs
1171:    AnythingArray(Vec<Option<serde_json::Value>>),

src/bibliography/reference.rs
1204:    AnythingArray(Vec<Option<serde_json::Value>>),

Also, need to fix contributor modeling there.

I also find the here script inconsistent on my different machines, so don't know what's going on.

If there's interest, could just host the converted code in the repo, and so it can be installed via cargo --git, for developers that may want to experiment with the models.

Could then also manually fix the conversion problems I note above, or ideally write a script so it could be automated.

But I'll likely need a PR for the cargo details; am a total Rust newbie.

I'm also experimenting with the opposite approach: a Rust-based model, converted to JSON Schema.

Certainly fast and clean, but I need to see how good the actual schema files are.
