Research direction
Investigate the usage of `process` in quicktype core's source code. The error indicates that `process` is not defined in browser environments. To fix, either replace the usage of `process` with a condition that checks for browser environments or provide a polyfill. You can use tools like `webpack` or `rollup` to alias `process` or use a package like `process/browser`. Alternatively, try to avoid relying on Node.js globals in browser compatible code.
