nats-tcl vs rl_json

nats-tcl

NATS client library for Tcl applications (by Kazmirchuk)

rl_json

Extends Tcl with a json value type and a command to manipulate json values directly. Similar in spirit to how the dict command manipulates dictionary values, and comparable in speed (by RubyLane)

pantcl 0.9.11 - pandoc filters written in the Tcl programming language
2 projects | /r/pandoc | 14 Mar 2023

Yes the pandoc AST approach very much welcomes the use of other scripting languages. I am not very comfortable with Lua (yet). With pandoc-tcl you mean a Lua filter which uses Tcl under the hood? Currently the problem is mainly that there must be some Tcl-C-library compiled to use the JSON tree, https://github.com/RubyLane/rl_json - I embedded his library into my standalone file with versions for Linux, Windows and Mac (the latter untested).

Technically, Tcl's internal type system is that all other value types are subtypes of string, universally serializable to string, and will correctly round-trip through string. But it also means that you can type-pun stuff if you want; it just costs time.
FWIW, the best handling I know of JSON in Tcl is the rl_json package (https://github.com/RubyLane/rl_json) which essentially makes JSON into what works like a native Tcl value type.
