jdva is an AWK library that offers functions to parse and create texts conform to the JSON grammar.

For jdva to work in Windows it is necessary to have AWK installed. Git provides AWK.

1. Download the complete project writing:

$ git clone git://github.com/Qaracas/jdva.git

2. Go to new created directory:

$ cd jdva
(jdva) $

3. (Opcional) Set AWKPATH environment variable:

(jdva) $ export AWKPATH=${AWKPATH}:.:"$(pwd)""/src"

4. (Optional) Run tests program:

(jdva) $ cd pruebas
(jdva/pruebas) $
(jdva/pruebas) $ ./haz_pruebas

5. Copy src/bbl_jdva.awk and src/funcs_priv.awk files into the /usr/local/share/awk directory, or into any other directory listed in AWKPATH environment variable.

To access jdva library functions from your AWK program, include the bbl_jdva.awk file at the beginning.

#!/usr/bin/gawk -E

@include "bbl_jdva.awk"

BEGIN {
    #...
}

Or pass it through the include source file command line option.

gawk -i bbl_jdva.awk '{#...}'
