Suggestion: let OB C/C++(?), via ffi, parse the generated JSON and consume the model parameters for all the languages!

[Buggaboo]

If there seems to be a uniform JSON model, why not let the C just consume it to generate the proper models, then poop out the updates to the parameters again (in JSON)?

We can get rid of model-related boilerplate in all languages.

I believe flatcc (dependency?) already has a JSON parser.

Even crazier idea: use flatbuffers, instead of JSON, so its (allegedly) backwards compatible, if that's an issue.

This has been discussed previously but isn't planned (for now) because any JSON loading would:

• mean you have to distribute the model.json with your app, be it as a file or part of the source code (as a string)
• be slower than a model constructed using classes - which the compiler can optimize/inline. Note: this isn't currently done in Dart either and we're still using some JSON parsing here but that should go away in the future
