About:
dhall-json provides command-line tools to convert Dhall configuration files into standard JSON or YAML formats. It serves as a critical bridge for projects that prefer Dhall's type-safety and programmability for authoring configs but require standard formats for runtime consumption.
Key Features:
  • Compiles type-safe Dhall configurations to JSON or YAML
  • Preserves Dhall features like imports, functions, and types
  • Provides `dhall-to-json` and `dhall-to-yaml` CLI utilities
  • Ensures configuration validity before deployment
Use Cases:
  • Generating Kubernetes manifests from typed Dhall sources
  • Creating validated JSON configuration files for applications
  • Automating build pipelines with type-safe configuration generation
Alternatives:
  • jsonnet – Jsonnet is a data templating language that outputs JSON directly, whereas Dhall offers a distinct language with a strong type system and formal semantics.
  • yq – yq is used for manipulating existing YAML/JSON files, while dhall-json is for generating them from a separate, typed language source.
