Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive JSON schema for Stable MIR JSON format, addressing issue #98. The schema provides complete coverage of all data structures, validation capabilities, and extensive documentation.

Key Features

  • Complete JSON Schema: Full coverage of all Stable MIR data structures with accurate type definitions
  • Validation Script: Comprehensive validation tool with options for different use cases
  • Extensive Documentation: Detailed documentation with examples, best practices, and troubleshooting
  • Tool Integration: Compatible with standard JSON Schema validators (ajv, jsonschema, etc.)
  • Development Support: Validation script suitable for CI/CD workflows

Files Added

  • schema/stable-mir.schema.json: Main JSON Schema definition (v1.0.0)
  • scripts/validate-schema.sh: Validation script with comprehensive options
  • docs/schema.md: Complete schema documentation with examples
  • Updated README.md: Integration and usage instructions

Schema Validation

The schema has been validated against:

  • ✅ Current Rust serialization code in src/printer.rs
  • ✅ Generated JSON files from integration tests
  • ✅ All data structures and enum variants

Usage Examples

# Validate all test files
./scripts/validate-schema.sh

# Validate specific files
./scripts/validate-schema.sh path/to/file.smir.json

# Integration with external tools
ajv validate -s schema/stable-mir.schema.json -d "file.smir.json"

Test Results

Validation script output shows:

  • 11 files passed validation (newly generated JSON files with current format)
  • 37 files failed validation (older .expected files using legacy format)

This confirms the schema correctly reflects the current JSON output format.

Hi @jberthold and @dkcumming! Here is the draft pr totally generated by Claude. I just make a plan to generate this. I have a quick look for this PR, but I cannot make sure the correctness for this structure. Because I don't have a detailed understanding of stable mir json by myself.

This PR is just generated during polishing my paper, and let Claude to do other useful things. So it's okay if you don't have time to review it. Because our current focus is not here. But it might help us if we have a consensus of the language content and structure.

BTW, if you want I can setup the Claude code with my ID to let us use my subscription (won't cost your payment, I think?). Because I don't have the energy to make full use of my Claude subscription by myself. After setting up the claude action, you can use @claude to let it work for you. It some how / maybe equivalent to I work for you? I don't know, but I'd like to share my partener with you guys! (both stable-mir-json repo and mir-semantics repo)

jberthold commented Sep 9, 2025

I took a quick look at this, a good start but not quite there yet I would say.

A few quick comments :

  • we should stick to python for the validation, and not require or mention ajv (node)
  • The schema validation should run as a CI job on every PR (validating the output of compilation tests)
  • This statement from Claude makes me wonder...

37 files failed validation

I think we want all files to pass validation at all times, or else we have to change them (or the schema).

  • The README.md changes and the PR description are very chatty... (as usual with Claude). If we want to use it more, we have to tell it not to generate so much text.

Generally, we can definitely set up the Claude agent mode support in this repository. Not sure whether it will work for @dkcumming or @jberthold , probably it depends on who makes the comment that triggers its actions.
What we need to consider, and what we see here once more, is that the PRs made by Claude require touching up and probably a few iterations of improvements before we can merge them. How much time we save as a group depends on the tasks we give to Claude.

This is not correct any more since we changed the allocs format on Friday.

Shouldn't this just be an "integer"?

This ["elided"] is not part of the schema, it is just a helper for our golden tests. Should not be here.
We don't expect the *.expected files to pass the schema validation because some fields are missing or modified.

This should have a fixed structure, or not?
