Consider adjusting the top level to be either a list of DataObjects or DataObjectMappings #2

Currently the schema is at the top level defined as a List (array) of DataObjectMappings. This could be enhanced to be either a List of DataObjectMappings OR a list of DataObjects.

This in principle could make it easier to switch between DDL / DML and ETL generation use-cases. Currently it is possible to generate DDL - however this still requires a mapping object to be present in the schema even though this is not used.

The decision has been made to retain a list of DataObjectMappings. This can still be used to generate DDL / DML.
