Generate JSON Schema LabVIEW

Simple example of generating JSON Schema from LabVIEW data types.

Goals

• To provide a starting point for generating a JSON Schema from a LabVIEW data type -- specifically, to be used in conjuction with the JSONtext and JKI JSON Serialization libraries.
• To provide enough of a schema for interoperability with other software tools (typically non-LabVIEW tools) that can utilize JSON Schema for a variety of purposes like code generation, data validation, etc.

Non-Goals

• This project does not aim to support all features of JSON Schema like validation, constraints, type references ($ref) and definitions ($def), etc.
• This project does not aim to create a validator (JSONtext already has one)
• This projecty does not aim to support all LabVIEW data types (but it would be nice to support all the types that JSONtext and JKI JSON Serialization support)

Status

• Project Status: Example Code / Non-Production
• Save Version: LabVIEW 2020

Roadmap

• Basic Data Types
  • Array
  • String
  • Cluster
  • Floating Points
  • Integers
  • Path
  • Enums
  • Others
• Unit Tests

Development

• Use LabVIEW 2020 or LabVIEW 2024+
• Install the required VI Packages using VIPM (see the .vipc and .dragon files for dependencies: JSONtext and OpenG Variant)
• Open source\Generate JSON Schema.lvproj and try running source\Example Test JSON Schema.vi (and experiment with changing the input data type)
