Entity Metadata can define with JSON and YAML formats and include entity field, behavior and predefined data definitions.

Deserialization

Unlike data de-serialization, metadata de-serialization uses implementer classes for metadata construction.

For JSON;

string content = "..."; // JSON content

var db = Database.Dbs.Db();

db.Metadata.AddJson(content);

For YAML;

string content = "..."; // YAML content

var db = Database.Dbs.Db();

db.Metadata.AddYaml(content);

How To Work

For JSON;

Rapidex using System.Text.Json for JSON serialization and deserialization. For System.Text.Json limitations (discriminators etc), abc

Impementers is not direct (independed) create and return metadata instances, but use incremental construction approach and add deserialized information to metadata definition on defined database scope.

For this approach, Rapidex uses IEntityMetadataImplementer service and several implementer classes for metadata construction.

For YAML

Rapidex convert YAML to JSON and use JSON deserialization approach.
