You can find some experimental support for JSON in my fork of the core CFEngine here:
https://github.com/tzz/core/tree/feature/json This is rough undocumented code intended as a proof of concept, written in my spare time. It's not officially supported by CFEngine! It provides three things (the path is an array like ["x", 0] to denote key "x" and array index 0): 1) "varname" string => readjsonstring("JSON data", "JSON path", maxlength); 2) # returns array values or object elements "listvar" slist => readjsonslist("JSON data", "JSON path", maxitems); # return array indices or object keys "listvar" slist => readjsonkeys("JSON data", "JSON path", maxitems); 3) various booleans that return a class, all taking ("JSON data", "JSON path") parameters: isjsonexists isjsonfalse isjsontrue isjsonprimitive isjsoncontainer isjsonarray isjsonobject There are acceptance tests in tests/acceptance/01_vars/02_functions/08[1-3].cf which show the usage of these functions clearly. I need your comments please: - is this something you've been looking for? - should I consolidate the booleans into a single function that takes a string parameter to denote the test? - do the functions work like you'd expect? How would you change them? I look forward to your comments!
