Mapping schemas to other frameworks

LinkML comes with a number of generators which will generate a representation of a schema using an alternative framework. This allows LinkML users to leverage toolchains from these frameworks. For example, LinkML can be compiled to JSON-Schema, and JSON-Schema validators can be used for JSON data.

Note that there is often an impedance mismatch between LinkML and other formalisms. For example, LinkML has a rich inheritance model that is either partially supported or unsupported in other languages. We employ techniques such as rolling down slots when doing generation - e.g. generating JSON-Schema.
