Hi Brian, Not meaning to hassle you (well maybe a little). I’ve got a few other enhancements we'd like to do as well as the Reflect code, and was hoping not to have to maintain a bunch of branches.
Here are the planned changes: - update newtonsoft.json and add the json path whenever the schema parser reports an error - we have a number of large schemas and debugging them is proving difficult - Roslyn based schema generator from C# class - Reflect option added to codegen (possibly updating codegen to use Roslyn) - Serialize to json Thanks. > On May 2, 2019, at 6:22 PM, Brian Lachniet <blachn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hey Patrick, > > This sounds very useful!
