Module Bcfg_json

Mapping

A configuration (a list of directives) becomes a JSON object mapping every directive name to its value. The value of a directive is:

• null when it has no parameter and no children;
• the parameter (a string) when it has exactly one parameter and no children;
• the array of its parameters when it has several and no children;
• an object built from its children otherwise, with its parameters, if any, kept under the "$params" key.

Directives sharing the same name (e.g. repeated entries) are grouped into a JSON array, in their order of appearance.
