I just found out about rust-analyzer json converter, but I think it would be more convenient, if names were more useful, like using the names of the keys.
Let's look at some realistic arbitrary json:
I think, new generated code is much easier to read and to edit, than the old:
Ideally, if we drop the numbers, I can see it being usable just as is (may be rename root)
Sadly, we can't just drop them, because there can be multiple fields (recursive) with the same name, and we can't just easily retroactively add numbers if the name has 2 instances due to parsing being single pass.
We could ignore the
1
and add number only if it's > 1, but I will leave this open to discussion and right now made it the simpler wayIn sum, even with numbers, I think this PR still helps in readability
