Format Directory
Formats
Browse the current single-format support surface, compare parser and generator readiness, and understand where each format is already credible.
This page should help a developer judge single-format readiness before they even think about a specific conversion pair.

Each format should answer one practical question: how trustworthy is it today as an input parser, an output generator, or both?
JSONJSON
Strong parser, no current generator, best for fast inference.

JSON
Strong parser, no current generator, best for fast inference.
Parser support
✓SupportedGenerator support
—UnsupportedJSON is strongest as a lightweight source format for sample-driven inference and quick exploratory runs.
Working well
Fast sample ingestion
Good fit for exploratory typing
Clear path into TypeScript inference
Current limits
JSON is not a current output target in the public Playground flow.
Sample coverage depends entirely on the representativeness of the input payload.

Bidirectional support today, but advanced schema semantics still need review.

JSON Schema
Bidirectional support today, but advanced schema semantics still need review.
Parser support
✓SupportedGenerator support
✓SupportedJSON Schema is already a real bidirectional integration surface, but some advanced constructs still need careful diagnostic review.
Working well
Real parser and generator surface
Useful contract format for interchange
Works well with current TypeScript-facing flows
Current limits
Highly dynamic schema patterns may degrade into broader output.
Some semantics still require reading diagnostics to understand loss.

TypeScript
Strongest current authoring format with good schema-generation pairing.
Parser support
✓SupportedGenerator support
✓SupportedTypeScript is currently the clearest developer-facing source format and one of the easiest ways to understand the toolkit's value quickly.
Working well
Strongest current authoring experience
Good fit for typed model review
Pairs well with JSON Schema generation
Current limits
Advanced TypeScript semantics can collapse into simpler downstream shapes.
Generator-side output is only as precise as the currently supported schema model.
