[9front] Question about parsing a json file

[9front] Question about parsing a json file

[Jacobo Da Riva Muñoz]

Hi!!

I started a 'little' rc program to read and post beeps to Mastodon. My 
idea is to create a simple but functional program. I'm not a developer, 
I'm a devops, but I think this is a good idea to start developing on 
9front. The main problem is How can a json file be parsed in rc? Does 
anyone have an idea how to fix this? Any experience will be welcome.

Regards

i think parsing arbitary json reliably in rc would be very hard. it is fairly straightforward in c. i wrote a simple parser (in my contrib) with a beautifier as a sample app; thought that is not what you asked for…

Sorry but, how can I find your contrib?

Yes, maybe i'll need a parser in C

You could do some stuff in rc with the assistance
of something like https://github.com/telephil9/gj
(thanks, phil9)

I do a version of hget | gj | sed in my quasi-rss
script to keep tabs on mastodon people
but if you want more complicated stuff like
posting, C is probably nicer.

Iirc someone on the fedi was working on a plan 9 fedi client. I just 
don't remember exactly who it was...

I'd also love some fedi server!

Re: [9front] Question about parsing a json file

[Steve Simon]

honestly i think the native 9front solution using jsonfs is the way to go, kudos to the author for an elegant, plan9-centric solution.

my json library was written separately to the 9front one - i would have used it if i had known about it.

mine is here if it is of interest: http://www.quintile.net/pkg/libjson.tbz
and the beautifier at http://www.quintile.net/pkg/json.cmds.tbz

there is also a json2 which works like the linux xml2 command, converting json to awk friendly token,value flat file.

in a similar vein there is a libxml and xml.cmds on the same server.

you should check this out https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/revolver-kickoff.html
its not exactly a fedi server, but it will work with activitypub like any other server
software

Re: [9front] Question about parsing a json file

[Jacobo Da Riva Muñoz]

It's possible to look at the code of masto9?

Re: [9front] Question about parsing a json file

[Julien Blanchard]

Or here https://git.sr.ht/~julienxx/masto9

It's just a really really early attempt though, don't expect it to 
really work.

Re: [9front] Question about parsing a json file

[Stanley Lieber]

note: i usually just archive everything i see that looks useful because things tend to disappear over time, but i don’t always do a great job of keeping things updated. always update from the repo if included.

Kind of off-topic, but I deleted my Mastodon account recently anyway. IMHO it's becoming another Twitter with the same esoteric nonsense

Re: [9front] Question about parsing a json file

[Jacobo Da Riva]

Thank you, everybody.

I'm reading the code of Masto9 and thinking about How can I create the mastodon client as an Acme application. I hope to share with you the code soon. 

Regards
