• reading/writing metadada to JSON files

• Allows defintion of entities, members, and proxy types.

Models

Helpers to write and read CG4 metadata to/from JSON, and from attributed code.

Generators

• freezable classes
• immutable records
• polymorphic NewtonSoft.Json DTOs
• polymorphic System.Text.Json DTOs (.NET 7+)
• freezable, polymorphic MessagePack DTOs
• common contracts (interfaces) for all the above.

Runtimes
