delvewright-dsl 0.37.0

Staged JSON DSL types and schemas for Delvewright adventure-map campaigns — the format the delvec compiler reads.
Documentation

delvewright-dsl

The campaign format that the delvec compiler reads: Rust types, validation, a canonical writer, and JSON Schema export for the staged JSON documents that describe a Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 adventure map.

A campaign is six documents — world, npcs, classes, quest-plan, quests, dialogue — plus an optional world-edits script and one l10n/<code>.json sidecar per translated language. Each is an envelope { dsl_version, campaign_id, stage, content } wrapping that stage's payload. Later stages reference earlier ones and never the other way round, so a campaign can be written and checked one stage at a time.

The JSON Schemas are generated from the Rust types, so the schema a document is authored against and the parser that reads it cannot disagree.

Use

[dependencies]
delvewright-dsl = "0.37"

use delvewright_dsl::{RawCampaign, check_campaign, parse_campaign, stage_schema};

// Six JSON strings in, diagnostics out.
let raw = RawCampaign { world, npcs, classes, quest_plan, quests, dialogue, world_edits: None };
let diagnostics = check_campaign(&raw);   // parse, then validate

// Or in two steps.
let campaign = parse_campaign(&raw)?;
let diagnostics = delvewright_dsl::validate_campaign(&campaign);

// The schema for stage 1, as serde_json::Value.
let schema = stage_schema(delvewright_dsl::Stage::World);

What it provides

  • Types — every stage payload as serde structs, all #[serde(deny_unknown_fields)], so a typo is a diagnostic rather than a silently ignored key. Ids are type-prefixed kebab-case newtypes (area/…, npc/…, class/…, quest/…, obj/…, dlg/…, anchor/…, prefab/…).
  • Validation — validate_campaign returns Diagnostic { code, severity, stage, path, message }, one stable DW#### code per rule: id syntax and uniqueness, dangling and forward references, dialogue reachability, quest-graph cycles, cross-stage completeness, item and entity ids, translation coverage. validate_campaign_with takes registries so ids resolve against a real Minecraft registry and a real prefab library.
  • Canonical form — to_canonical_string and fmt: two-space indent, sorted map keys, declaration field order, one trailing newline. Array order is semantic and is never reordered. Round-tripping a valid document is byte-identical, so an edit is a small diff instead of a whole-file rewrite.
  • JSON Schema — stage_schema exports one full-envelope draft 2020-12 schema per stage.
  • Registries — ItemRegistry, EntityRegistry, BlockRegistry, EffectRegistry and AnchorRegistry traits, with small vendored implementations so the crate validates standalone, and injection points for the full ones.

All iteration is over ordered collections: nothing depends on hash order, wall-clock time, or absolute paths.

Compatibility

  • Campaign format: dsl_version 0.37.0, the one number this crate accepts; any other is refused at the envelope.
  • Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.11.
  • Rust: 1.97.1 or newer.
