An Introduction to Corvus.JsonSchema Code Generator for .NET

Matthew Adams takes you through a high level tour of Corvus.JsonSchema, an open-source, high-performance JSON schema validation and serialization library.

The library generates C# code from JSON schema files, allowing for improved interaction and performance over traditional deserialization methods. The video demonstrates how to set up a .NET project, create JSON schema files, and utilize Corvus.JsonSchema's features like the newly added source generator, which eliminates the need for command-line tools by integrating code generation directly into the project. It also covers adding necessary NuGet packages and setting build actions for files. Practical examples include creating and validating a simple 'TestPerson' JSON schema file. The video concludes with a demonstration of generating structured data types based on schema constraints and highlights the benefits of a schema-first approach to code generation.
