typescript-introspection

A typescript library for specifying runtime-introspectable datatype schemas.

By virtue of being introspectable, these datatype schemas are capable of:

• accurately initializing an instance of this datatype
• marshaling an instance of this datatype to/from JSON and string formats in a type-safe manner
• accuractly serializing the schema itself to/from JSON

... with little to no additional code.

Features

Datatypes may be defined recursively:

• native datatypes (for Javascript) such as boolean number string
• sequences (equivalent to Arrays in Javascript)
• aggregates (equivalent to objects or maps in Javascript)
