#JSON Pepper
A helper CLI tool that converts JSON into an equivalent pp::Var notation in C++.
##Install
npm install -g json-pepper
##Usage Simply give it a JSON file and it will output the C++ notation.
json-pepper [filename]It also accepts streams, e.g.
cat package.json | json-pepperor on OSX use the clipboard to easily convert copied JSON into pepper notation:
pbpaste | json-pepper | pbcopy##Example
package.json
{
"name": "json-pepper",
"preferGlobal": true,
"version": "0.0.0",
"author": "Mohamed Eltuhamy <tuhamy@gmail.com>",
"description": "convert json into pp::Var",
"contributors": [
{
"name": "Mohamed Eltuhamy",
"email": "tuhamy@gmail.com"
}
],
"bin": {
"json-pepper": "./bin/json-pepper.js"
},
"main": "./lib/json-pepper",
"keywords": [
"cli",
"json",
"nacl",
"native-client"
],
"dependencies" : {
"lodash" : "*",
"minimist" : "*",
"concat-stream" : "*"
},
"analyze": false,
"license": "MIT",
"engines": {
"node": ">=0.6"
}
}When we pass package.json into json-pepper, we get the following output:
json-pepper package.jsonpp::VarDictionary obj;
obj.Set("name","json-pepper");
obj.Set("preferGlobal",true);
obj.Set("version","0.0.0");
obj.Set("author","Mohamed Eltuhamy <tuhamy@gmail.com>");
obj.Set("description","convert json into pp::Var");
pp::VarArray obj_contributors;
pp::VarDictionary obj_contributors_0;
obj_contributors_0.Set("name","Mohamed Eltuhamy");
obj_contributors_0.Set("email","tuhamy@gmail.com");
obj_contributors.Set(0, obj_contributors_0);
obj.Set("contributors",obj_contributors);
pp::VarDictionary obj_bin;
obj_bin.Set("json-pepper","./bin/json-pepper.js");
obj.Set("bin",obj_bin);
obj.Set("main","./lib/json-pepper");
pp::VarArray obj_keywords;
obj_keywords.Set(0, "cli");
obj_keywords.Set(1, "json");
obj_keywords.Set(2, "nacl");
obj_keywords.Set(3, "native-client");
obj.Set("keywords",obj_keywords);
pp::VarDictionary obj_dependencies;
obj_dependencies.Set("lodash","*");
obj_dependencies.Set("minimist","*");
obj_dependencies.Set("concat-stream","*");
obj.Set("dependencies",obj_dependencies);
obj.Set("analyze",false);
obj.Set("license","MIT");
pp::VarDictionary obj_engines;
obj_engines.Set("node",">=0.6");
obj.Set("engines",obj_engines);We can copy this to the clipboard and paste it into our NaCl program.
