models with JSONModel support.

Examples

Specify an ouput directory and a class prefix:

  $ nidyx example.json.schema -x ClassPrefix -o /path/to/output/directory

Generate with JSONModel support and optional documentation:

  $ nidyx example.json.schema --json-model -a "Your Name" -p "Project Name"
