Rschema provides a macro for generating JSON schemas from Rust structures.

Description

Often, you will use a framework such as serde to deserialize the contents of a configuration file into a Rust structure.

This tool generates schema information for the target file from the structure to be deserialized.

This supports pre-validation of the configuration file.

Example code

```rust use rschema::{ Schema, Schematic, };

// You can use serde's macros together. use serde::Deserialize;

[derive(Debug, Schematic, Deserialize)]

[rschema(additional_properties)]

struct Custom { #[rschema(field( title = "A flag for debugging", description = "Set true to display debug logs.", ))] debug_flag: bool, }

[derive(Debug, Schematic, Deserialize)]

struct AppConfig { #[rschema( field( title = "Application Config", description = "Application configuration file.", ), required, )] app_name: String,

#[rschema(
    field(
        title = "Version",
        description = "Application version.",
        pattern = r"^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$",
    ),
    required,
)]
version: String,

#[rschema(field(
    title = "Custom Configuration",
    description = "Additional custom configuration.",
))]
custom: Custom,

}

fn main() -> rschema::Result<()> { Schema::new::("Application Config") // Add description if needed. .description("Application configuration file.") // Save as file. .write_pretty("config.schema.json")?;

Ok(())

} ```

The above code generates the following file:

json { "title": "Application Config", "description": "Application configuration file.", "type": "object", "properties": { "app_name": { "title": "Application Config", "description": "Application configuration file.", "type": "string" }, "version": { "title": "Version", "description": "Application version.", "type": "string", "pattern": "^(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$" }, "custom": { "title": "Custom Configuration", "description": "Additional custom configuration.", "type": "object", "properties": { "debug_flag": { "title": "A flag for debugging", "description": "Set `true` to display debug logs.", "type": "boolean" } }, "additionalProperties": true } }, "required": [ "app_name", "version" ], "additionalProperties": false }

It can be used with support tools such as VSCode.

Combination with serde

Rschema and Serde can be used together.

Files that pass validation with the JSON schema generated by Rschema will be always successfully deserialized to the same data.

```rust fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> { let configjsonstr = std::fs::read("config.json")?; let config: Config = serdejson::fromstr(&configjsonstr).unwrap();

// ...

Ok(())

} ```
