Steps
Pull the versioned schema files from the gbfs-json-schema repo (organized by version folder, e.g. v2.3, v3.0) rather than reverse-engineering types from example payloads.
Use a JSON-Schema-to-code generator for your target language to produce data models directly from those schemas.
Regenerate models whenever you bump the GBFS version you consume/produce, so schema changes (e.g. renamed fields between versions) propagate automatically instead of silently drifting.
Validate a sample feed against the same schema version your generated models target, to catch mismatches between the schema version and the live feed's declared version field.
Check MobilityData's toolbox/resources listing (linked from gbfs.org) for already-published community libraries before generating your own, in case one already exists for your language.
Known gotchas
Schemas are versioned per-folder — generating from the wrong version folder against a feed declaring a different version will produce subtly wrong types (e.g. missing v3.0-only fields like eco_labels).
