I've done a little class <--> schema translation work in the past; this is much harder than it sounds. :-) JSON Schema is considerably more complex/robust than PHP classes, so translating between the two is a challenge. (Maybe set hooks could cover some cases now? Hm.) Class->schema would be easier, but in that case I think it would be better to either leave to user-space (it would just be a bit of reflection work) or if it's in the core API to make it a separate operation from schema validation. It's simple enough for a user to plug those two operations together themselves when appropriate. --Larry Garfield
