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
