About:
Jrsonnet is a high-performance Rust implementation of the Jsonnet data templating language. It provides a command-line interface for evaluating Jsonnet files to generate JSON output. The tool focuses on speed, strictness, and correctness, making it a robust alternative to the original C++ implementation.
Key Features:
  • High performance execution via Rust
  • Strict evaluation mode for catching errors early
  • Support for the full Jsonnet language specification
  • Deterministic output for reliable builds
Use Cases:
  • Generating Kubernetes manifests from reusable templates
  • Managing complex configuration files for infrastructure
  • Automating JSON configuration generation for applications
Alternatives:
  • go-jsonnet – Go implementation; Jrsonnet is often faster and offers stricter evaluation modes
  • jsonnet (cpp) – The original reference implementation; Jrsonnet provides a modern, memory-safe alternative
