jsonata-test

This project contains language-agnostic test files for the JSONata querying/transformation language.

In general, one directory in data corresponds to one test case or one block of related test directories. Directories are grouped according to functional area. A typical test case contains three files:

1. expression.jsonata, containing a JSONata expression to be compiled.
2. input.json, containing the input to the compiled expression.
3. output.json, containing the expected output.

• input.json and output.json may instead contain the string "undefined", indicating that undefined should be used as input/expected as output respectively.
• bindings.json may also be present. This object contains variable names and values to be bound into the JSONata expression before evaluation.
• If output.json is missing, JSONata should throw an exception at evaluation time.
• If input.json is also missing, JSONata should throw an exception at expression compilation time.

Example

expression.jsonata:

Account.Order[0].OrderID

input.json:

{
  "Account": {
    "Account Name": "My Account",
    "Order": [
      {
        "OrderID": "order103"
      },
      {
        "OrderID": "order104"
      }
    ]
  }
}

output.json:

"order103"
