history

Project history and usage

go-jsonnet is the Go implementation of Jsonnet, a configuration language for producing JSON, YAML, and other structured data.

Project history

Jsonnet began at Google in early 2014 as a 20 percent project and was launched on August 6 of that year. The go-jsonnet repository followed in 2016 as a pure-Go implementation; its README describes it as feature complete and production ready, with command-line tools and embeddable Go library support.

Adoption history

Jsonnet gained adoption in configuration-heavy infrastructure work because it lets users compute, compose, and reuse structured data. The original C++ Jsonnet repository points users toward go-jsonnet as a newer implementation that can be much faster in some cases and is recommended in preference to the C++ version.

How it is used

Practitioners use the jsonnet command to evaluate .jsonnet files into JSON, YAML, or other outputs, and use jsonnetfmt, jsonnet-lint, and jsonnet-deps around repository review and build pipelines. Go programs can embed the VM directly to evaluate Jsonnet snippets or files inside larger tools.

Why package nerds care

For package users, go-jsonnet matters because it turns a configuration language into a small, portable Go toolchain with CLI binaries, pre-commit hooks, library APIs, and package-manager installs.

Timeline

  • 2014: Jsonnet began as a Google 20 percent project and launched on August 6.
  • 2016: go-jsonnet public GitHub repository created.
  • 2020: v0.17.0 release series available from the Go implementation.
  • 2026: v0.22.0 release published with Go and Python packaging changes.

Related projects

  • google/jsonnet is the original C++ implementation. jsonnet.org hosts the language reference and standard-library documentation used by both implementations.
