Generating JSON from Bosatsu Values

Like Dhall Bosatsu can be used as a configuration language.

As an example, in the project repo, after running sbt cli/assembly try the following:

./bosatuj json write --main_file test_workspace/Foo.bosatsu --package_root test_workspace/

you should see: "this is Foo". The json subcommand gives you the ability to render values as JSON.

For a more interesting example see:

./bosatsuj json write --main_file test_workspace/gen_deps.bosatsu --input_dir test_workspace/ --package_root test_workspace/ | head -30

which should render:
