@kagal/json-template

A compile-once, render-to-native-objects template engine for JSON documents. Variables use shell-style ${var:-default} syntax; types are preserved (numbers stay numbers, booleans stay booleans) — no string concatenation of JSON, no JSON.parse at render time.

Supports dotted key paths for nested context traversal, strict mode for missing variables, and static analysis of variable metadata without requiring valid JSON input.
