Hi, I am looking into done.js and if it might be a valuable addition to our stack. To keep systems decoupled I would like to keep important app definitions in a json-schema file, like e.g. define used components and subcomponents that are needed in a client side app with a custom json-schema file that is loaded on app init. Also form generation by json-schema is something I exoect to have in a toolset ready to go - with validation and a nice entrypoint for serverside validations. Has done.js something that fits into this mindset of how to create and maintain modular apps? Thanks for your attention! ---

Hello. Sorry about the long delay. You can certainly use a json schema that is loaded on app init, but I would make sure that JSON is built into the app, not loaded through a separate AJAX request. Form generation by json-schema isn’t something that is built in. Generally, speaking, CanJS/DoneJS is design for anything, but has no-built-in widgets. As far as validation, you can use: [https://canjs.com/doc/can-define-validate-validatejs.html](https://canjs.com/doc/can-define-validate-validatejs.html)
