> What you're seeing there is actually validation :), the lat/lng type is not magically inferred but instead explicitly requested by the code - if it were not valid it would generate a user-friendly, localized error message. Also the underlying document hierarchy that holds the data is validated. So on the contrary it is actually hard not to validate content in eno.

Please make this clear on the website! I think it’s a clever idea.

Also, this has garnered some attention on Lobste.rs [1], if you’re interested to read the discussion there as well.

Thanks for that feedback! I'll see what I can do to communicate the API type concept better, I'm generally struggling to pack all the bandwidth of things into the little available prominent space on the website, but eventually I will get it right for most people I hope. :)

Also thanks for letting me know about the lobste.rs thread, I'll see that I get invited and answer the few not yet-answered points, couldn't get to it yesterday unfortunately amidst all the comment and issue and PR flood here and on github. ;)
