๐งช Testing
Run the comprehensive test suite:
Current Status: 38/42 tests passing (90% coverage)
Tests cover:
- โ Basic evaluation (literals, variables, functions)
- โ Complex expressions and operator precedence
- โ Standard library functions (partially implemented)
- โ String interpolation and array comprehensions
- โ Error handling and edge cases
- โ JSON output formatting
- ๐ Advanced features (4 tests remaining)
๐ Usage
use ;
// Evaluate Jsonnet code
let result = evaluate?;
println!;
// Convert to JSON
let json = evaluate_to_json?;
println!;
๐ Recent Developments
Phase 1: Core Language Features โ
- String interpolation with
%(name)ssyntax - Array comprehensions
[x for x in arr](basic implementation) - Function definitions and closures
- Bracket notation for objects and arrays
Phase 2: Standard Library Extensions โ
- Set operations:
set,setMember,setUnion,setInter,setDiff - String utilities:
asciiLower,asciiUpper,lstripChars,rstripChars,stripChars - Array functions:
flatMap,mapWithIndex,repeat - String search:
findSubstr
Current Status: 38/42 tests passing (90% coverage)
- โ Working: Basic Jsonnet programs, objects, arrays, functions, string interpolation
- ๐ In Progress: Advanced array functions, complex function calls
- โ Remaining: 4 failing tests (phase4, phase5, phase6 advanced features)
โก Performance
- Zero-copy evaluation where possible
- Efficient AST representation with Box for recursive types
- Lazy evaluation for optimal performance
- Memory-efficient standard library implementations
