json2kdl

json2kdl is a program that generates KDL files from JSON

json2kdl input.json output.kdl

Intended Use

json2kdl was made specifically for Nixpkgs Issue #198655, which means, these features are currently out of scope:

• Parsing arbitrary JSON
  Currently, the input file structure must follow a specific schema:

  • Nodes can be defined as elements of the root JSON array ([])
  • Each node must have the identifier field of type Identifier and can have these optional fields:
    • arguments (Array of Values)
    • properties (Object with Identifier:Value pairs)
    • children (Array of objects representing Nodes)

  See examples/example.json

• Comments (As JSON does not support them)

• Type Annotations

• Types that KDL has but JSON does not and vice versa
