Eclipse Sirius EMF JSON

This project is part of Eclipse Sirius. It provides a JSON-based implementation of EMF resources which can be used as a drop-in replacement for the default XMI-based format.

Although it is part of Sirius, this new EMF resource type can actually be used by any EMF-based application as it does not depend on the rest of the Sirius platform (neither Sirius Desktop nor Sirius Web).

Building

The build uses Apache Maven (version 3.9.8). To launch a complete build, issue:

mvn clean package

from the top-level directory.

Warning

Note that you will need to use Java 17 or later to run the build.

Usage

To use EMF JSON resources, simply register the org.eclipse.sirius.emfjson.resource.JsonResourceFactoryImpl resource factory in your resource set or in the global resource factory registry. For example:

Resource.Factory.Registry.INSTANCE.getExtensionToFactoryMap().put("json", new JsonResourceFactoryImpl());

See the Sirius Web sources for concrete usage examples.
