Akari: Easy template language & Json Implementation

install by

cargo install akari

Akari is consists of 2 components, one is Json Implementation for rust, and the second component is the template rendering language

Akari Json

Macro is used in creating Akari Json.

use akari::object; 
object!({
    number: 3, 
    string: "Hello", 
    array: [1, 2, 3], 
    object: { 
        a: 1, 
        b: 2, 
        c: 3 
    }
}) 

Then you can create a Json.

Where you can also use

use akari::object; 
use akari::Object; // Notice the capital O meaning that Object is a struct not macro 

let json = r#"{"key": "value", "number": 42, "list": [1, 2, 3]}"#; 
let obj = Object::from_json(json).expect("Failed to parse JSON"); 
let dir = "D://test/test.json"; 
Object::from_jsonf(dir).unwrap_or(Object::None); // Read a json from a file 
obj.into_jsonf(dir); // Write obj into the dir 

While various of methods are provided to read a value in json.

Be carefun about the difference between obj.to_string(), obj.string() and obj.into_json()

Templating

run to render a template

akari render_string "-[ output aaa ]-" aaa=1

output: 1
