Hi all,
I've written some code to extract a "de-facto schema" from json, in
order to provide documentation and possibly other useful metadata
(i.e. dropdowns in UIs, etc).
For want of a better name I've gone with Data::Topology::JSON but any
better suggestions are much appreciated.
Cheer,
Aaron

I don't have a clean-room data set I can use as an example right now,
but essential

Hello,
Does this module work on JSON-encoded data, or on a Perl structure
achieved by decoding JSON? If latter is the case, then maybe the JSON part
may be omitted altogether? Something like Data::Schema::Inferred?
If it's JSON-encoded, I second Smylers' answer.

Very, very cool module. As to your question, I would encourage the use of
the term "Schema" over "Topology", unless you really mean it. Topology is a
term that refers to geometry and/or connectivity. Presumably you are
determining the connectivity of your data---one structure holds or refers
to ano
