The Zig compiler is moving from json to zon for certain outputs

This tool helps parse that output

From the README:

Abelha (Portuguese for "bee") is a high-performance, lightweight parser combinator library for Zig, inspired by Rust's nom. Designed for efficiency, composability, and ease of use, Abelha helps you build powerful parsers with minimal effort.

Features

• ✅ Combinator-Based Parsing – Compose small parsers into complex ones seamlessly.
• ✅ Extensible & Ergonomic – Define your own combinators for maximum flexibility.

From the README:

Similar to std.MultiArrayList() but backed by fixed size arrays with a shared runtime length.

Each field of T becomes an array with max length buffer_capacity. To access the arrays as slices use items(field) or constItems(field).

Useful when a struct of small arrays is desired with capacity that is known at compile time. Like std.BoundedArray, MultiBoundedArrays are only values and thus may be copied.

Roc's compiler is being rewritten in Zig primarily due to significantly faster compile times, which have been a major pain point in Rust.

Zig's allocator-based memory management, better tooling for static binaries, and built-in support for optimization techniques (like struct-of-arrays and bit-packing) align better with Roc’s needs.

... a self-contained sample Zig codebase capable of building a Nintendo 64 ROM. Nothing shows up on the screen (yet), but it'll nonetheless run on real hardware (with debug output via USB on a SummerCart 64) or on low-level emulators like Ares (with debug output if the emulator supports ISViewer-based debug logging).

From the README:

Welcome to ZigROS! ZigROS is an alternative build system for ROS2 utilizing the zig tool chain. ZigROS prioritizes static, single executable builds and edge deployments. Wrapping all the core C and C++ libraries, it greatly simplifies the ROS installation and deployment process by masquerading ROS2 as a single library. Simply include ZigROS as a dependency in your build.zig.zon and start building. No messing about with your package manager, ROS dep, or docker required.

ZigROS is suitable for building applications that depend on rcl or rclcpp. This includes interface generation for c and c++. Since the main goal of this project is static builds, python at runtime is out of scope. Python at build time is still required since ROS relies heavily on empy for the code generation. See the python section later on for more detail on how python is used.

A (partial) implementation of the Lox scripting language from the book Crafting Interpreters, in Zig.

Enough of the compiler and vm are complete to run some interesting programs.

From the README:

This library is a wrap for original MinHook library. It's uses Zig build system to statically-compile source library and uses MinHook.h header file to wrap library functions.
