Advice

Is there any TypeScript-safe library that can automatically generate a schema from a real dataset, but with more than just field names and types?

I mean something that can look at real data and produce a structure that includes:

  • inferred field types

  • descriptions or semantic meaning

  • examples pulled from the dataset

  • relationships between fields

  • maybe even suggested transformations or constraints

Basically: a schema generator that doesn’t just map the shape of the data, but tries to explain it.

Does anything like this exist in the TS ecosystem? Or anything close?

That's kind of like showing your friend pictures from a zoo and asking not just "what animals are these" (which your friend could probably answer pretty accurately) but instead asking "why does the zoo have three elephants, what are their names, what do they eat, and how did they transport them to the zoo?"

Basically, looking at raw data is not enough to answer all of those questions, so any answer you do get would be a guess and would most likely be wrong.
