haskell-jsonnet

Actions Status Hackage

A full-fledged Haskell implementation of the Jsonnet spec. For an introduction to the language itself, see the tutorial or language reference. We are using the same test suite used in the offical C++ and Go implementation (which is fairly comprehensive).

Progress

Here is the implementation status of the main language features:

  • array and object comprehension
  • array slices
  • Python-style string formatting
  • text blocks
  • verbatim strings
  • object-level locals
  • object-level asserts
  • keyword parameters
  • default arguments
  • top-level arguments
  • external variables
  • hidden fields (@CristhianMotoche)
  • tailstrict annotation
  • outermost object reference $
  • mixin inheritence (operator + with self and super)
  • field composition (operator +:)
  • multiple file output

Build

Using the stack build tool:

% git clone github.com/moleike/haskell-jsonnet.git
% cd haskell-jsonnet
% stack build

Install

% stack install # to install

Usage

% hs-jsonnet --help
Usage: hs-jsonnet [-v|--version] [-e|--exec] [<filename>] 
                  [-o|--output-file <filename>] [-S|--string]

Available options:
  -v,--version             Print version of the program
  -h,--help                Show this help text
  -e,--exec                Treat filename as code
  <filename>               Jsonnet source file or stdin
  -o,--output-file <filename>
                           Write to the output file rather than stdout
  -S,--string              Expect a string, manifest as plain text

Output formats

By default Jsonnet programs evaluate to a JSON document, serialized using aeson.

The std library provides several methods to output other formats, e.g. to generate a Yaml stream instead:

% hs-jsonnet -S -e "std.manifestYamlStream(['a', 1, []])"
---
"a"
---
1
---
[]
...

Note the we need to use the option -S to output a verbatim string, instead of default JSON.

Similarly, to output prettified JSON:

% cat pretty.jsonnet 
std.manifestJsonEx(
{
    x: [1, 2, 3, true, false, null,
        "string\nstring"],
    y: { a: 1, b: 2, c: [1, 2] },
}, "    ")

% hs-jsonnet -S pretty.jsonnet
{
    "x": [
        1,
        2,
        3,
        true,
        false,
        null,
        "string\nstring"
    ],
    "y": {
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2,
        "c": [
            1,
            2
        ]
    }
}

See the Standard library documentation for more details.
