JSONTas is a tool for generating dynamic JSON structures.

JSONTas is a tool for generating dynamic JSON data.

Description

JSONTas adds conditionals and logic to JSON files in order to create dynamic JSON data depending on which dataset you supply.

It opens up the possibility to create generic tools where most of the operations are done by executing JSONTas on the data.

Documentation: https://jsontas.readthedocs.io/en/latest

Features

• Simple yet powerful syntax.

• HTTP requests on parse

• Separation of environments by providing different datasets.

Installation

Install the project by running:

pip install jsontas

Examples

First we create two datasets. One for our ‘dev’ environment and one for our ‘prod’ environment.

Dataset ‘dev.json’

{
   "mode": "dev",
   "database": "dev_db"
}

Dataset ‘prod.json’

{
   "mode": "prod",
   "database": "prod_db"
}

JSONTas JSON file

Next up, let’s create our JSONTas file.

{
   "database": {
      "host": "myawesomedb.example.com",
      "database": "$database"
   },
   "message": {
      "$condition": {
         "if": {
            "key": "$mode",
            "operator": "$eq",
            "value": "dev"
         },
         "then": "This is the DEV server.",
         "else": "This is the PROD server."
      }
   }
}

JSONTas execute with ‘dev’ dataset

jsontas -d dev.json data.json

{
   "database": {
      "host": "myawesomedb.example.com",
      "database": "dev_db"
   },
   "message": "This is the DEV server."
}

JSONTas execute with ‘prod’ dataset

jsontas -d prod.json data.json

{
   "database": {
      "host": "myawesomedb.example.com",
      "database": "prod_db"
   },
   "message": "This is the PROD server."
}

These examples only show the bare minimum. For more examples look at our documentation at: https://jsontas.readthedocs.io/en/latest
