Is there an additional piece of magic that I am missing or skipping over that enables the serialization/deserialization of

Schema

to and from JSON? Trying it with

serde_yaml

, the non-primitive types

struct

,

array

,

map

become

type: primitive("array")

instead of

type: array(SchemaTypeArray { type: "array", elementType: primitive("integer"), containsNull: true })

Would you mind posting an example or linking some docs? Super interested in being able to define schemas outside of the compiled code!

Hopefully this helps. https://gist.github.com/cmackenzie1/1e42249c784f410edcc14d6ef3d075ed

Thanks! Can’t imagine its much messier than a massive

Vec<SchemaField>

though!

You can probably use the YAML anchors

&block

and

<<: *block

to remove a lot of redundancy

Yeah anchors are a great idea. Unfortunately, I don’t think they work “between” the

so it might be limited but still a valuable strategy.

Oh, I just used

to put everything in one page

Ah right right 👍
