Golang CGo Wrapper around JSonnet VM

jsonnet_cgo

Simple golang cgo wrapper around JSonnet VM.

Everything in libjsonnet.h is covered except the multi-file evaluators.

See jsonnet_test.go for how to use it.

Quick example in golang:

    vm := jsonnet.Make()
    vm.ExtVar("color", "purple")

    x, err := vm.EvaluateSnippet(`Test_Demo`, `"dark " + std.extVar("color")`)

    if err != nil {
            panic(err)
    }
    if x != "\"dark purple\"\n" {
            panic("fail: we got " + x)
    }

    vm.Destroy()

Quick examples with the command line demo program:

$ ( cd jsonnet_main/  ; go  build -x -a )
...
mv $WORK/b001/exe/a.out jsonnet_main
...
$ echo "{ a: 1, b: 2 }"  | jsonnet_main/jsonnet_main /dev/stdin
{
   "a": 1,
   "b": 2
}
$ cat test1.j
{
  shell: "/bin/sh",
  awk: "/usr/bin/awk",
}
$ jsonnet_main/jsonnet_main test1.j
{
   "awk": "/usr/bin/awk",
   "shell": "/bin/sh"
}
$ cat test2.j
local test1 = import "test1.j";

test1 {
  shell: "/bin/csh",
}
$ jsonnet_main/jsonnet_main test2.j
{
   "awk": "/usr/bin/awk",
   "shell": "/bin/csh"
}
$ echo ' std.extVar("a") + "bar" ' | jsonnet_main/jsonnet_main /dev/stdin a=foo
"foobar"
