| JSONSelect is *EXPERIMENTAL*, *ALPHA*, etc. | |
| JSONSelect defines a selector language similar to CSS intended for | |
| JSON documents. For an introduction to the project see | |
| [jsonselect.org](http://jsonselect.org) or the [documentation](https://github.com/lloyd/JSONSelect/blob/master/JSONSelect.md). | |
| ## Project Overview | |
| JSONSelect is an attempt to create a selector language similar to | |
| CSS for JSON objects. A couple key goals of the project's include: | |
| * **intuitive** - JSONSelect is meant to *feel like* CSS, meaning a developers with an understanding of CSS can probably guess most of the syntax. | |
| * **expressive** - As JSONSelect evolves, it will include more of the most popular constructs from the CSS spec and popular implementations (like [sizzle](http://sizzlejs.com/)). A successful result will be a good balance of simplicity and power. | |
| * **language independence** - The project will avoid features which are unnecessarily tied to a particular implementation language. | |
| * **incremental adoption** - JSONSelect features are broken in to conformance levels, to make it easier to build basic support and to allow incremental stabilization of the language. | |
| * **efficient** - As many constructs of the language as possible will be able to be evaluated in a single document traversal. This allows for efficient stream filtering. | |
| JSONSelect should make common operations easy, complex operations possible, | |
| but haughtily ignore weird shit. | |
| ## What's Here | |
| This repository is the home to many things related to JSONSelect: | |
| * [Documentation](https://github.com/lloyd/JSONSelect/blob/master/JSONSelect.md) which describes the language | |
| * The [jsonselect.org](http://jsonselect.org) [site source](https://github.com/lloyd/JSONSelect/blob/master/site/) | |
| * A [reference implementation](https://github.com/lloyd/JSONSelect/blob/master/src/jsonselect.js) in JavaScript | |
| ## Related projects | |
| Conformance tests are broken out into a [separate | |
| repository](https://github.com/lloyd/JSONSelectTests) and may be used | |
| by other implementations. |
