Research direction
Start by reviewing cattrs' existing scope and the referenced attrs-jsonschema package, then compare the linked discussion about schema generation. Before implementation, clarify whether schema generation belongs in cattrs and agree on supported schema formats, class definitions, and acceptance criteria; done cannot be defined from the current issue alone.

Description
Hi @Tinche! I really love the combination of attrs and cattrs; it is a great way to organize code! After having shot myself in the foot several times with pydantic, I switched to (c)attrs in most of my projects. However, there is one part where pydantic still has an edge – or at least I couldn't find an immediate solution with (c)attrs – which is generating schemas (JSON or similar) from class definitions.
Perhaps this hasn't been in scope so far, but I think this would be a natural task for cattrs, no? At least I know that other people seem interested in this as well. A quick search yields:
Do you think this is something that should become part of the roadmap?
