Potentially useful libraries

[olivereanderson]

Use this discussion to post libraries that identity and/or its bindings can benefit from.

Please include a short description of the library and ideally how it may benefit identity (and/or bindings).

Here are a few suggestions that are grouped by category .

Bindings

We want to supply bindings to more languages in the future. The multi-language bindings generator for Rust called Uniffi-rs may be able to help us with this!

JSON-LD Processing

If we want to provide advanced utilities for validating verifiable credentials (and presentations) we may likely want to consider some JSON-LD processors. Here are a couple of (Rust) crates that may help us in this regard:

• json-ld
• sophia_jsonld

Code quality

static_assertions can help us with some characterisation tests (at compile time), such as ensuring that certain traits are still implemented after changing the internals of our data structures (changing the type of a private field in a struct can actually be a breaking change due to how certain blanket implementations work).
