schemake 0.1.0

Schemake (schema make) is a package for describing schemas from a declarative specification. Specifications can then be used for validating data, generating code or other schemas like JSON Schema and more.

  name: Joe Doe

  // when used directly, Objects simply verifies the schema and makes sure
  // to get rid of YAML types.
  Map<String, Object?> joe = personSchema.convert(yaml);
  print('// Full name: ${joe['name']}');
  print('// Age:       ${joe['age']}');
  // you get a List<String>, not a YamlList!
  final friends = joe['friends'] as List<String>;
  print('// Friends:   ${friends.join(', ')}');

    // missing "friends", which is mandatory

  // simple Dart class with toString, equals and hashCode implemented,
