# Inventory
This part provides a specification for the inventory.
It is used for design phase and as validation helper.
> Cue is less verbose and easier to understand and maintain than json-schema.
> Json-schema, if needed can be easily generated on-the fly.
## Checking validity
Directly check a json against the schema
`cue vet inventory.json root.cue -d '#Root'`
## Json schema
Export the json-schema i.e. for usage in python / javascript / nix
`cue export --out openapi root.cue`
## Usage
Comments are rendered as descriptions in the json schema.
```cue
// A name of the clan (primarily shown by the UI)
name: string
```
Cue open sets. In the following `foo = {...}` means that the key `foo` can contain any arbitrary json object.
```cue
foo: { ... }
```
Cue dynamic keys.
```cue
[string]: {
attr: string
}
```
This is the schema of
```json
{
"a": {
"attr": "foo"
},
"b": {
"attr": "bar"
}
// ... Indefinitely more dynamic keys of type "string"
}
```
