transit-cljs

Transit is a data format and a set of libraries for conveying values between applications written in different languages. This library provides support for marshalling Transit data to/from ClojureScript. Unlike the Java and Clojure implementations it relies on the non-streaming JSON parsing mechanism of the host JavaScript environment.

• Rationale
• API docs
• Specification
• Getting Started

This implementation's major.minor version number corresponds to the version of the Transit specification it supports.

NOTE: Transit is intended primarily as a wire protocol for transferring data between applications. If storing Transit data durably, readers and writers are expected to use the same version of Transit and you are responsible for migrating/transforming/re-storing that data when and if the transit format changes.

Contributing

This library is open source, developed internally by Cognitect. We welcome discussions of potential problems and enhancement suggestions on the transit-format mailing list. Issues can be filed using GitHub issues for this project. Because transit is incorporated into products and client projects, we prefer to do development internally and are not accepting pull requests or patches.

Development

Dependencies

Install dependencies with

lein deps

Running the tests & benchmarks

Running the tests:

lein cljsbuild once test

In order to run the transit-format bin/verify you must first clone transit-format into the same parent directory as your transit-cljs checkout and build the roundtrip file:

lein cljsbuild once roundtrip

To run the benchmarks you must first clone transit-format into the same parent directory as your transit-cljs checkout.

Running the benchmarks:

lein cljsbuild once bench
node target/transit.bench.js

Build

Build JAR for ClojureScript

Assuming you have a JDK and Maven installed, the following will install a JAR suitable for use from ClojureScript into your local Maven repository.
