    so if you want a:

       class Job { company: string[] }

    We can upcast "Amazon" -> ["Amazon"] since you indicated that in your schema.
Congratulations! You've discovered Applicative Lifting.

its a bit more nuanced than applicative lifting. parts of of SAP is that, but there's also supporting strings that don't have quotation marks, supporting recursive types, supporting unescaped quotes like: `"hi i wanted to say "hi""`, supporting markdown blocks inside of things that look like "json", etc.

but applicative lifting is a big part of it as well!
