10/18/2023, 8:05 AMNo, the schema DSL has it's on language. The playground file format is, however, a YAML file (and the schema field in it is just a field). It would be fairly straight forward to convert from JSON to YAML.
If what you are trying to do is
zed schema writer

10/18/2023, 9:57 AMI dont understand what that file is for sorry, can you elaborate?
vroldanbet
10/18/2023, 9:58 AMAre you looking to parse the schema and generate an AST that you serialize into your JSON file? Even if we provide APIs for that, those are subject to change the representation of the AST any time

10/18/2023, 10:00 AMbut what do you want from such a JSON file? the plaintext schema, or an abstract synstax tree-like representation?

vroldanbet
10/18/2023, 10:04 AMwhy do you need API to include the schema? can you just modify the JSON to add a new field that is

10/18/2023, 10:37 AMIt sounds like you want to parse a schema into an AST, serialize it into JSON, and then read it back. You can do that with the
compilerr
