- * Decorators for type-checking JSON into

- * @module Checkable
- * @author Florian Dold
+ * Decorators for validating JSON objects and converting them to a typed
+ * object.
+ *
+ * The decorators are put onto classes, and the validation is done
+ * via a static method that is filled in by the annotation.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * ```
+ *  @Checkable.Class
+ *  class Person {
+ *    @Checkable.String
+ *    name: string;
+ *    @Checkable.Number
+ *    age: number;
+ *  }
+ * ```
