{-| This library only exports a single `dhallToJSON` function for translating a
Dhall syntax tree to a JSON syntax tree (i.e. a `Value`) for the @aeson@
library
NOTE: The @yaml@ library uses the same `Value` type to represent YAML
files, so you can use this to convert Dhall expressions to YAML, too
See the @dhall@ package if you would like to transform Dhall source code
into a Dhall syntax tree. Similarly, see the @aeson@ package if you would
like to translate a JSON syntax tree into JSON.
This package also provides @dhall-to-json@ and @dhall-to-yaml@ executables
which you can use to compile Dhall source code directly to JSON or YAML for
your convenience
Not all Dhall expressions can be converted to JSON since JSON is not a
programming language. The only things you can convert are:
* @Bool@s
* @Natural@s
* @Integer@s
* @Double@s
* @Text@
* @List@s
* @Optional@ values
* unions
* records
Dhall @Bool@s translate to JSON bools:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< 'True'
> true
> $ dhall-to-json <<< 'False'
> false
Dhall numbers translate to JSON numbers:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '+2'
> 2
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '2'
> 2
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '2.3'
> 2.3
Dhall @Text@ translates to JSON text:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '"ABC"'
> "ABC"
Dhall @List@s translate to JSON lists:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '[1, 2, 3] : List Integer'
> [1,2,3]
Dhall @Optional@ values translate to @null@ if absent and the unwrapped
value otherwise:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '[] : Optional Integer'
> null
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '[1] : Optional Integer'
> 1
Dhall records translate to JSON records:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< '{ foo = 1, bar = True }'
> {"foo":1,"bar":true}
Dhall unions translate to the wrapped value:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< "< Left = +2 | Right : Natural>"
> 2
> $ cat config
> [ < Person = { age = +47, name = "John" }
> | Place : { location : Text }
> >
> , < Place = { location = "North Pole" }
> | Person : { age : Natural, name : Text }
> >
> , < Place = { location = "Sahara Desert" }
> | Person : { age : Natural, name : Text }
> >
> , < Person = { age = +35, name = "Alice" }
> | Place : { location : Text }
> >
> ]
> $ dhall-to-json <<< "./config"
> [{"age":47,"name":"John"},{"location":"North Pole"},{"location":"Sahara Desert"},{"age":35,"name":"Alice"}]
Also, all Dhall expressions are normalized before translation to JSON:
> $ dhall-to-json <<< "True == False"
> false
