Lemongrass is a pure Janet library for converting between markup languages like HTML and XML and Janet data structures (in Hiccup syntax). It comes with a CLI utility for converting at the command line.

Add the dependency to your info.jdn file:

  :dependencies ["https://github.com/pyrmont/lemongrass"]

Lemongrass can be used like this:

(import lemongrass)

(lemongrass/markup->janet `<h1 class="foo">Hello world!</h1>`)
# => @[:h1 @{:class "foo"} "Hello world!"]

(lemongrass/janet->markup [:h1 {:class "foo"} "Hello world!"])
# => "<h1 class="foo">Hello world!</h1>"
