# bash-object

Manipulate heterogenous data hierarchies in Bash.

This is meant to be a low level API providing primitives for other libraries.

## Exhibition

```sh

# Problem: How to represent the following in Bash?

# {

#   "zulu": {

#     "yankee": {

#       "xray": {

#         "whiskey": "victor",

#         "foxtrot": ["omicron", "pi", "rho", "sigma"]

#       }

#     }

#   }

# }

# Solution: Use bash-object to construct the hierarchy

declare -A root_object=()

declare -A zulu_object=()

declare -A yankee_object=()

declare -A xray_object=([whiskey]=victor)

declare -a foxtrot_array=(omicron pi rho sigma)

bobject set-object --ref root_object '.zulu' zulu_object

bobject set-object --ref root_object '.zulu.yankee' yankee_object

bobject set-object --ref root_object '.zulu.yankee.xray' xray_object

bobject set-array --ref root_object '.zulu.yankee.xray.foxtrot' foxtrot_array

bobject get-object --value root_object '.zulu.yankee.xray'

assert [ "${REPLY[whiskey]}" = victor ]

bobject get-string --value root_object '.zulu.yankee.xray.whiskey'

assert [ "$REPLY" = victor ]

bobject get-array --value root_object '.zulu.yankee.xray.foxtrot'

assert [ ${#REPLY[@]} -eq 4 ]

bobject get-string --value root_object '.["zulu"].["yankee"].["xray"].["foxtrot"].[2]'

assert [ "$REPLY" = rho ]

bobject.print 'root_object'
