【Question】Does it support string lists?
I see that the readme mentions support for arrays, so does it also support string lists?
@guifou Hi 👋
I noticed this issue was filed for jsonformer, so I wanted to let you know about Outformer: https://github.com/milistu/outformer, a maintained and enhanced alternative.
For your question, if you mean if it can generate a list of strings (List[str]), yes, it can.
🚀Improvements in OutFormer
-
Array handling & min/max support I fixed array generation bugs and added full support for
minItemsandmaxItems, matching JSON Schema capabilities -
Better type coverage Supports basic types (string/number/boolean), nested objects, arrays, and
enumfor constrained values, with descriptive context to improve clarity during generation. -
Descriptions You can now define value descriptions, which OutFormer uses to generate more meaningful outputs.
🧩 Usage Example
You can find examples that I have created.
🔄 Maintenance & Future Plans
OutFormer is actively maintained, I regularly address bugs, add new features, and keep pace with JSON Schema enhancements. If something's missing or broken, feel free to open an issue or PR, I’ll prioritise it.
