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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes library-like package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - library-like package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** go-jsonnet - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Conflicts With:** jsonnet - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - go-jsonnet: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/go/go-jsonnet/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - go-jsonnet - 0.21.0-r10: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: go-jsonnet from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Implementation of Jsonnet in Go | https://jsonnet.org - MacPorts - go-jsonnet: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: devel/go-jsonnet/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - main/go-jsonnet: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/go-jsonnet.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Main/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [jsonnet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jsonnet/) - Shares the same upstream homepage. - [jrsonnet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jrsonnet/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, configuration, configuration-language, developer-tools, json. - [pkl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, configuration, configuration-language, developer-tools. - [config-file-validator](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/config-file-validator/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, configuration, developer-tools, json. - [dhall-json](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dhall-json/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, configuration, developer-tools, json. - [dyff](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dyff/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, configuration, developer-tools, json. - [gojq](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gojq/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, go, json. - [hjson](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hjson/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, configuration, developer-tools, json. - [go-bindata](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-bindata/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
