It would be nice to find a nice JSON format to store schema and column-related information in order to satisfy issues:

• [Suggested Feature] Indicate which CDM columns are required #40
• [Suggested Feature] Indicate column’s data type #41
• [Suggested Feature] Show documentation about a column #42
• [Suggested Feature] Indicate possible concepts that can be assigned to a column #43
• [Suggested Feature] Load Sandbox CDMs as target tables/columns #44

There is JSON Schema, but that looks like an overwrought format and I’m not sure it would satisfy our actual needs. Plus, there don’t seem to be any Java libraries that would help us read in that format.

Instead, I propose a simple syntax like in this example: https://gist.github.com/aguynamedryan/4ecbc821ace160feed59
