public static void SimpleExtraction()
{
JsonSerializerOptions options = JsonSerializerOptions.Default;
JsonNode schema = options.GetJsonSchemaAsNode(typeof(Person));
Console.WriteLine(schema.ToString());
//{
// "type": ["object", "null"],
// "properties": {
// "Name": { "type": "string" },
// "Age": { "type": "integer" },
// "Address": { "type": ["string", "null"], "default": null }
// },
// "required": ["Name", "Age"]
//}
}
record Person(string Name, int Age, string? Address = null);
