jgrepl 0.1.4

Extensible command-line REPL for interacting with JSON-graphs containing business objects

Extensible command-line REPL for interacting with JSON graphs containing business objects.

The JSON format is based on the json-graph specification at: https://github.com/jsongraph/json-graph-specification

Several additional assumptions are made:

• We assume that the graph contains no cycles

• We treat node IDs as case-insensitive

• There are certain metadata fields that some aspects of the tool depend on (but none of these are mandatory)

Sample graphs are provided in the tests directory.

To use from the command line, just point the jgrepl tool to your JSON graph:

$ ./jgrepl/jgrepl.py tests/food-graph.json

Once in the REPL, type help for the list of available commands. Use ctrl-d to exit.

Here is a sample session using the “food” graph:

*** Loading graph from 'tests/food-graph.json'...
