Same deal with the type_conv version of JSON (which has loads of users now, it 
seems).

I'm going with ATDgen for the JSON part of the tutorial (and it's used in 
ocaml-github too for the JSON parsing):
https://github.com/avsm/ocaml-github/blob/master/lib/github.atd

It's pretty good, except for the lack of a module system for the generated code 
(and so record fields all need to have a prefix).  I much prefer the more 
'integrated' type_conv code generation, even though it's less flexible.
