๐ Usage
use kotoba_jsonnet::{evaluate, evaluate_to_json};
// Evaluate Jsonnet code
let result = evaluate(r#"
local person = { name: "Alice", age: 30 };
local greeting(name) = "Hello, " + name + "!";
{
message: greeting(person.name),
data: person,
doubled_age: person.age * 2,
}
"#)?;
println!("Result: {:?}", result);
// Convert to JSON
let json = evaluate_to_json(r#"{ name: "World", count: 42 }"#)?;
println!("JSON: {}", json);
๐ Integration with Kotoba
This Jsonnet implementation is integrated into the broader Kotoba ecosystem:
- Used for configuration parsing (
.kotobafiles) - Powers the frontend framework's component definitions
- Enables deployment configuration templating
- Provides runtime configuration evaluation
โก Performance
- Zero-copy evaluation where possible
- Efficient AST representation with Box for recursive types
- Lazy evaluation for optimal performance
- Memory-efficient standard library implementations
