Yes, automatic UI generation is something we've been doing with EdgeDB for years in our products. Having a uniform object data model and introspection makes it easy to automatically generated complex nested forms and grids. We'll likely build a React microframework to generate UIs for EdgeDB at some point after beta release.

Have you looked at dumping json-schema? Because then something like json-editor[0] will just work out of the box.
Got extensively tested with swagger v2(openapi)[1].
After the json-schema you write a quick swagger spec and modify a couple of mustache templates[3] to generate a crud interface for server and client. In your language of choice.
All with one magic yaml file; but file format agnostic as well;
Personally I struggle to read the json format.
