haxelib json spec about haxelib HOT 5 CLOSED

I've written up a JSON Schema for the haxelib.json file here. I've used examples I've found, and the haxelib source code to get my best guess at what is available/required, etc. If I'm missing anything or anything is wrong, corrections gladly accepted.

As a note: the haxelib program does not seem to require a description, but it does require a releasenote. I didn't think that was right, so I made both required.

Looks good, left my comment on the gist.

Maybe we should include the schema into the haxelib repo, that way if/when we make changes, the changes to the schema will be tracked with git too.

That sounds like a good idea to me.

It would be nice to have a Haxe validator. An alternative approach to
porting the JS version would be to re-do the schema as typedefs (and some
metadata for anything that can't be expressed in plain Haxe syntax), and
then you have a macro validator that gives you a strongly typed object on
the other side.

A man can dream :) For now, I'll include the file in the repo.

It's in the repo. I'm still a fan of the macro validator, but maybe next time.
