Core Components

1. Akari Value (JSON)

Key Features:

// Create objects
use akari::object;
let data = object!({
    number: 3, 
    nested: { 
        list: [1, 2, 3] 
    }
});

// Parse/emit JSON
let obj = Value::from_json(r#"{"key":"value"}"#)?;
obj.into_jsonf("data.json")?;  // Write to file

Important Methods:

• to_string(): Debug representation
• string(): Extract string value
• into_json(): Serialize to JSON string
• is_dict()/is_list(): Type checks

Enable object_macro feature for object! syntax

2. Extensions System

Type-Based Storage (Params):

let mut params = Params::new();
params.set(42u8);  // Store by type
params.get_mut::<u8>().map(|n| *n += 1); 

String-Based Storage (Locals):

let mut locals = Locals::new();
locals.set("counter", 0i32);  // Store by key
locals.keys();  // ["counter"]

Cloneable Variants:

• ParamsClone: Cloneable type storage
• LocalsClone: Cloneable key-value storage
• Methods: combine() (no overwrite), merge() (overwrite)

Bridge Storage Types:

locals.export_param(&params, "exported_value"); 

3. Templating Engine

Render Templates:

akari render_string "-[output var]-" var=42  # Output: 42

Key Features:

• Template inheritance with insert
• File-based template caching
• Logic control structures

See Starberry Examples for usage patterns
