## Description

Quicktype is a multi-language serialization tool and type generator. It converts JSON samples, JSON Schema definitions, and GraphQL schemas into strongly typed data structures and serialization logic across multiple programming languages.

The system automates the data serialization workflow by generating boilerplate code to parse and serialize data. It transforms structured input definitions into executable code, providing the necessary encoders and decoders to move data between raw formats and typed objects.
