JSONseq

Introduction

JSONseq, a JSON based language! It is made with Node.js. And this is an esolang where .json or JavaScript Object Notation files (not .jsonc files) are code instead of data (yay)!

Words (or instructions)

How they look like

Yes! You heard me right, words. Or basically Instuctions. They are these objects and they normally look like this:

 { "wd-name": "(word name here)", "arg1": "argument 1" ... "argN": "argument N" }

The words

There aren't as many to memorise as my Funky esolang (or i think so):

1. SETVAR arg1: varname, arg2: value ---------------------------------- Sets variable
2. CPVAR arg1: varname, arg2: varname --------------------------------- Copy variable
3. PRNT arg1: string -------------------------------------------------- print PRNT-OUT-DT variable or arg1
4. INP arg1: varname -------------------------------------------------- It doesn't work lol
5. ADD arg1: varname, arg2: varname, arg3: varname -------------------- arg3 variable = arg1 variable + arg2 variable
6. SUB arg1: varname, arg2: varname, arg3: varname -------------------- arg3 variable = arg1 variable - arg2 variable (yes)
7. MUL arg1: varname, arg2: varname, arg3: varname -------------------- arg3 variable = arg1 variable * arg2 variable
8. DIV arg1: varname, arg2: varname, arg3: varname -------------------- arg3 variable = arg1 variable / arg2 variable (yes) oh my god i dont like the next one
9. ASSERT arg1: varname, arg2: varname, arg3: operator, arg4: code ---- arg3 can be "ls" for less "ls-eq" for less or equal "eq" for equal "gr" for greater "gr-eq" for greater or equal and code is an array that is like the sequence. (this is an isolated environment, i think, github copilot wrote some of this)
10. JUMP arg1: line number-1 ------------------------------------------- Your average goto. doesn't care about global scope if is in isolated environment
11. LOOP arg1: start, arg2: iterations, arg3: step, arg4: code --------- Loop, nothing else, also an isolated environment. gives you an ITERATION-N variable to you and also accessible in global scope
12. EXIT arg1: code ---------------------------------------------------- Finally, a small one, exit with code 'code'

a lot.

How to create more words

You can't.

How does an empty boilerplate look like

It looks like this:

 {
   "sequence": [
     { "wd-name": "EXIT", arg1: 0 }
   ]
 }

Some programs

Hello world

 {
   "sequence": [
     { "wd-name": "SETVAR", "arg1": "PRNT-OUT-DT", "arg2": "Hello, World!\n" },
     { "wd-name":   "PRNT" },
     { "wd-name":   "EXIT", "arg1": 0 }
   ]
 }

truth-machine

 {
   "sequence": [
     { "wd-name": "SETVAR", "arg1": "INPUT", "arg2": "0" },
     { "wd-name": "SETVAR", "arg1": "ZERO", "arg2": "0" },
     { "wd-name": "SETVAR", "arg1": "ONE", "arg2": "1" },
     { "wd-name": "ASSERT", "arg1": "INPUT", "arg2": "ZERO", "arg3": "eq", "arg4": [
       { "wd-name": "PRNT", "arg1": "ZERO" },
       { "wd-name": "EXIT", "arg1": 0 }
     ]},
     { "wd-name": "PRNT", "arg1": "ONE" },
     { "wd-name": "JUMP", "arg1": 4 }
   ]
 }

Running & other stuff

To run your project, run:

 $ node ./path/index.js ./path/program.json

replace ./path/index.js to where the index.js file is located and ./path/program.json to program
don't forget the ./
