Quick start

Start with the playground for exploration and published toolkit packages for integration.

Guides2 min

Schema Transformation Web is the product surface. The toolkit packages provide the transformation engine that the web app demonstrates and will eventually expose more deeply.

The easiest place to start is the web playground, but it helps to keep the package model in mind so the docs feel connected rather than split across two worlds.

Playground
Use the browser workspace before installing anything locally.
Toolkit repository
Inspect the published toolkit source and release artifacts.

Keep the mental model small

Keeping those three layers distinct makes the docs easier to navigate and the product easier to evolve.

  • The web app is the guided product experience.
  • Published toolkit packages are the reusable engine.
  • Shape IR is the contract between parsers, traversal, and generators.

Choose the right entry point

If you only want to validate a conversion path, start with the playground. It removes install friction and lets you see the supported flow immediately.

If you want to integrate transformations into another system, follow the toolkit repository and published package artifacts instead of relying on local workspace links.

Prefer published packages

The exact package mix depends on which source and target formats you need, but the docs should keep pointing back to published release artifacts as the default path.

Typical package entry point

bash
npm install @aio/sdk @aio/parser-typescript @aio/generator-json-schema
