Why?
- Schema and class are defined in the same place
- Less noisy and verbose that field decorators
- Schema can be separated from the class, and created without a class
- Type safety ensure schema output matches intended field type
- Provide some reassurance that if
x instanceof SomeDataClass, then x conforms to the schema of SomeClass. Removes the need to consider whetherxneeds to be validated again.
