# Generating Strongly-Typed Code and Domain Models from JSON
Hand-writing TypeScript interfaces or Golang structs to match third-party API payloads is tedious, repetitive, and vulnerable to human oversight. A single misspelled property or incorrect type assumption can crash client applications in production.
Automated type generation analyzes sample JSON responses and recursively infers exact structural contracts.
---
## 1. Type Inference Strategies
A robust type generator evaluates:
1. **Type Coercion**: Differentiating between integers and floating-point decimals.
2. **Nullable Fields**: Identifying keys that contain `null` and marking them as optional (`?`) or unioned (`Type | null`).
3. **Heterogeneous Arrays**: Evaluating arrays that mix primitives (e.g. `[1, "two"]`) to infer union types like `(number | string)[]`.
4. **Nested Objects**: Recursively synthesizing standalone sub-interfaces to avoid deeply nested unreadable declarations.
