Install

Download the latest from the releases page.

Usage

Freeze data:

brisk --freeze -i data.edn -o data.nippy

Thaw data:

brisk --thaw -i data.nippy -o data.edn

If input or output is not specified, stdin or stdout will be used:

cat data.edn | brisk -f | brisk -t > data2.edn

Babashka pod support

There are two functions exposed via the pod interface:

  • (freeze-to-file filename data) - returns the number of bytes written
  • (thaw-from-file filename) - returns data thawed from the file

Example:

#!/usr/bin/env bb

(require '[babashka.pods :as pods])
(pods/load-pod "brisk")
(require '[pod.brisk :as brisk])

(brisk/freeze-to-file "pod.nippy" {:han :solo})
(prn (brisk/thaw-from-file "pod.nippy"))

Development

Not quite ready yet. This depends on a soon-to-be-released library.

Things that don't work

  • Embedded objects - Nippy can handle them, but Graal VM does not support them.
