J52J

AKA "Json5 to Json"

Simple Gradle plugin that converts .json5 files into .json when gradle processes resources.

Warning

You can't use fabric.mod.json5 with this plugin. Fabric Loom reads fabric.mod.json directly from the source code and doesn't work with the .json5 format.

Setup

Add the plugin using

// settings.gradle.kts
pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven("https://maven.kikugie.dev/releases")
    }
}
// build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    id("dev.kikugie.j52j") version "1.0.2"
}

// settings.gradle
pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven { url = "https://maven.kikugie.dev/releases"}
    }
}
// build.gradle
plugins {
    id "dev.kikugie.j52j" version "1.0.2"
}

Configuring the plugin

By default, it will process all source sets in the project, marked as resources. However, you can specify which source sets it should process:

// build.gradle[.kts]
j52j {
    sources(sourceSets["main"])
}

If you would like a specific file to be kept as .json5, add // no j52j at the top:

// no j52j
{
  json: 5
}
