Use PyShExC to generate shapes in JSON-LD #18

Closed Teester closed 5 months ago

Teester commented 3 years ago

Use PyShExC (https://github.com/shexSpec/grammar-python-antlr) to generate shapes in JSON-LD, which is a standard, rather than the bespoke json we are currently generating.

Advantages:

will translate parts of shemas that we currently do not, such as AND and OR, making it easier to solve #1, #2 and #3
can let PyShExC worry about generating json shapes rather than supporting it here
adheres to a standard, which may make reuse easier

Disadvantages:

requires rewriting compareshape.py to parse JSON-LD instead of the current json.
