Jsonnet

Jsonnet processor library. Wraps the official C++ implementation with a Ruby extension library.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jsonnet'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jsonnet

By default this gem will compile and install Jsonnet (v0.18.0) as part of installation. However you can use the system version of Jsonnet if you prefer. This would be the recommended route if you want to use a different version of Jsonnet or are having problems installing this.

To install libjsonnet:

$ git clone https://github.com/google/jsonnet.git
$ cd jsonnet
$ make libjsonnet.so
$ sudo cp libjsonnet.so /usr/local/lib/libjsonnet.so
$ sudo cp include/libjsonnet.h /usr/local/include/libjsonnet.h

Note: /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include are used as they are library lookup locations. You may need to adjust these for your system if you have errors running this gem saying it can't open libjsonnet.so - on Ubuntu for instance I found /lib worked when /usr/local/lib did not.

To install this gem without jsonnet:

Use JSONNET_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES ENV var:

$ JSONNET_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1 bundle install

or, the --use-system-libraries option:

gem install jsonnet -- --use-system-libraries

Usage

Load the library with require "jsonnet"

You can evaluate a string of Jsonnet using Jsonnet.evaluate

irb(main):002:0> Jsonnet.evaluate('{ foo: "bar" }')
=> {"foo"=>"bar"}

Or load a file using Jsonnet.load

irb(main):002:0> Jsonnet.load('example.jsonnet')
=> {"baz"=>1}

To get closer to the C++ interface you can create an instance of Jsonnet::VM

irb(main):002:0> vm = Jsonnet::VM.new
=> #<Jsonnet::VM:0x007fd29aa1e568>
irb(main):003:0> vm.evaluate('{ foo: "bar" }')
=> "{\n   \"foo\": \"bar\"\n}\n"
irb(main):004:0> vm.evaluate_file('example.jsonnet')
=> "{\n   \"baz\": 1\n}\n"
