Built-in function publishing?

[jpage-godaddy]

Hello there. We're building some cross-platform libraries that are hoping to share JMESPath capabilities. We're using is crate for JMESPath, and we noticed that built-in functions like keys(@) are not released. I do see the code for keys() in this code base, but it appears to have been written after the latest release.

Is the partial set of built-in functions something that can be published? Alternatively, do custom functions work so we can backfill what we need in our application?

@jpage-godaddy thanks a lot for your feedback.

To be transparent I started this project as a learning experience for me to become more proficient in the language.

I stopped when it was in a good state with all the foundations in place, including support for custom fonctions.

I only stopped because I was not sure it would meet its audience.

So key take away:

• I can definitely publish the current state
• I will be trying to include the remaining functions but with no timeline guarantee.
• I certainly welcome pull requests

Finally, I'm more interested in driving a community and stewarding the JMESPath language specification. This means I'm looking for maintainers. See #2.

Please let me know your thoughts, so I can better plan and maybe coordinate.

Awesome, I figured as much. I saw you already had the function we were wanting to use (keys), and we were able to successfully implement keys using the custom function infrastructure that you set up, but I saw you had an implementation already in place and was hoping that maybe some more of the built-in functions were ready to go but just not published (like maybe you were waiting to complete all of them?).

We can certainly be contributors. I'll ask around to see if we have appetite for maintainers within our Rust developer pool.

Thanks for releasing the crate, by the way. I'm very happy the wonderful JMESPath technology can reach a wider audience with this.

@jpage-godaddy FYI I just published the current interim version.
