Hey DEV! 🙋♂️
Good news for .NET developers and data pipeline builders! We've made the core engine of our visual JSON mapping tool open source under the MIT license. This powerful engine, which powers SpanFlow's cloud-based pipelines, is now available for anyone to use, embed in their own applications, or self-host using Docker.
What's included?
- MIT-licensed mapping libraries compatible with .NET Standard 2.0, .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10. This means it works across modern .NET versions and even on older .NET Framework 4.7.2+.
- The execution engine for performing JSON-to-JSON transformations, just a few lines of code away.
- A visual designer UI that can be run locally via Docker, requiring no setup or sign-in.
Getting started is simple:
1. Add the necessary NuGet packages to your .NET project to start using the engine.
2. Run the visual designer locally with a single Docker command.
3. Test the engine instantly through a free web playground without any installation.
We're excited about this open-source release and welcome contributions from the community. Explore the GitHub repository, report bugs, suggest features, or dive into the engine tests. Let us know your thoughts and any specific JSON mapping challenges you'd like help with!
