About:
Dhall is a programmable configuration language that provides a powerful type system and ensures configuration files are safe, correct, and reusable. It can be exported to YAML, JSON, and other formats, making it ideal for managing complex infrastructure configurations without the pitfalls of traditional templating languages.
Key Features:
  • Strong static type system prevents configuration errors before deployment
  • Supports functions, imports, and imports with caching for reusable configs
  • Can export to JSON, YAML, and other common configuration formats
  • Provides a security model that prevents code injection and malicious imports
Use Cases:
  • Generating type-safe Kubernetes manifests and Helm values
  • Managing complex CI/CD pipeline configurations
  • Creating reusable configuration modules for infrastructure as code
Alternatives:
  • jsonnet – Jsonnet is a data templating language with similar goals but different syntax and evaluation model
  • cue – CUE focuses on constraint satisfaction and merging, while Dhall emphasizes pure functional programming
