Content

Typeflows treats file content as typed objects rather than strings, bringing compile-time validation to file format generation. This catches the format errors that traditional string-based approaches can only detect at runtime.

Typed Content Objects

Typeflows content types encapsulate the rules and constraints of each file format, catching YAML syntax errors, JSON structure problems, and Markdown formatting issues during development rather than at runtime.

Typeflows provides content objects for common file formats:

YAML Content handles structured configuration with proper indentation and formatting rules.

JSON Content produces valid JSON structure with correct escaping and nesting.

Markdown Content maintains proper spacing, heading hierarchies, and markup conventions.

Text Content provides unstructured text generation for plain files.

Each content type is designed for safe composition - multiple content objects of the same type can be combined while preserving format integrity and semantic structure.

The Content Advantage

Compile-Time Validation

Content objects prevent format errors before they reach production. YAML indentation problems, JSON syntax errors, and malformed Markdown are caught when you save the file, not when deployments fail.

Safe Composition

Each content type understands how to combine with others of its kind. YAML content maintains proper structure when sections merge, while Markdown content preserves spacing and hierarchy conventions. This composability enables building complex content from smaller, reusable pieces.

Semantic Generation

Instead of manipulating strings, you work with semantic content objects that understand their purpose. Configuration structures become typed data that renders correctly, while documentation becomes structured markup that maintains consistency.

Beyond String Manipulation

Content objects make file generation more reliable than string concatenation. This enables:

• Early error detection: Format problems caught at compile time
• Safe composition: Content sections combine according to format rules while maintaining integrity
• Consistent output: Generated files match format specifications
• Reusable components: Content pieces can be composed and reused across different contexts

By treating content as composable, typed objects rather than strings, Typeflows extends compile-time safety from code structure into file content, creating a comprehensive system where configuration errors are caught during development rather than deployment.
