• validates that the JSON is valid
• knows about any inheritances, etc that Vega Strike applies on top of JSON

Thinking of the high level of inheritance ships have, jsonnet (https://jsonnet.org/) might help maintaining a cleaner and smaller source file for units: you'd write the base ship, add/override the differences in e.g. llama.blank, derive the llama variants from this and again just add/override the differences.
The full ouput it produces should give back the current units.json file.
A later step could be to have the engine itself support this kind of inheritance and directly load the source file.

I think we already have that. What I'm thinking of is the editor so that you can load the various config files and see how they effect each other.

IOW, select a Llama variant and see both it and the llama.blank data and then make a change and see how it effects the final outcome.
