Crate structure

The following figure shows the current set of crates and their dependencies. For most tools it is easiest to simply rely on the lib crate in the same way the cargo crate does in the figure below.

• core; contains the core model and framework elements such as the ModelReader, ModelWriter traits, and Action, Linter, and Validator traits.
• assembler; provides the ability to load multiple files, in supported representations, and merge into a single semantic model. The ModelAssembler, along with the FileTypeRegistry and SearchPath are intended to support tools that process models, not just files.
• smithy; contains implementations of the ModelReader and ModelWriter traits for the Smithy IDL representation.
• json; contains implementations of the ModelReader and ModelWriter traits for the JSON AST representation.
• query; will contain the implementation of selector expressions as queries.
• describe; contains an implementation of the ModelWriter traits that generates formatted documentation.
• rdf; contains an implementation of the ModelWriter traits for an RDF representation.
• openapi; will contain the transformation to open API.
• lib; a combined, single dependency, crate for clients that want to use a lot of the Atelier functionality.
• cargo; the cargo command for Smithy file processing.
