Acknowledgement

The core functions of ArmTypeGenerator is built on top of a customized version of Microsoft.Json.Schema and Microsoft.Json.Schema.ToDotNet which are parts of Microsoft/jschema. Microsoft/jschema is the most complete and useful library for C# to deal with Json schemas that I can find so far. Thanks my colleague @cbellee for recommending it to me.

The console is built on top of the wonderful library Spectre.Console.
