Limitations

There are still many limiations for the parsing that I'm working to address. The current setup works for my use cases, but is far from ideal. Some limitations include:

1. Only flat structs, or structs with up to one nextested level are supported

Suported:

class DefaultListItem(BaseModel):
    item: str = ""


class DefaultListStruct(BaseModel):
    # mostly just for testing
    items: list[DefaultListItem] = []
Not supported yet:

class DefaultListItemDetail(BaseModel):
    detail: str = ""

class DefaultListItem(BaseModel):
    item: DefaultListItemDetail = ""

class DefaultListStruct(BaseModel):
    # mostly just for testing
    items: list[DefaultListItem] = []

2. I'm not handling any data types beyond strings and arrays (no ints/floats or optional types)

Suported:

class DefaultListItem(BaseModel):
    item: str = ""
Not supported yet:

class DefaultListItem(BaseModel):
    item: int = ""

3. Nested structures must have different value names

class DefaultListStruct(BaseModel):

class DefaultListItem(BaseModel):
    items: str = ""

class DefaultListStruct(BaseModel):
    # mostly just for testing
    items: list[DefaultListItem] = []

4. I'm in the process of adding support for dataclasses

Currenlty pydantic models are the only structures supported
