JTran is a portmanteau that comes from "Json Transformation". It is a language that is itself a Json document that describes how to transform one json document into another. It borrows concepts and in some cases syntax from XSLT.
{
"#foreach(Vehicles, Cars)":
{
"Make": "#(Manufacturer)",
"Model": "#(Model)",
"Year": "#(Year)",
"PrimaryDriver": "#(Drivers[0].FirstName + ' ' + Drivers[0].LastName)"
}
}
- Simple but powerful language based on Json.
- Ability to customize
- Create custom functions in any .Net language or in JTran itself.
- Create custom elements using JTran.
- Data source can be a json document, a collection/enumerable or even a POCO.
- Transform large sets of data
- Stream a large json file
- Transform source can be any collection (IEnumerable), e.g. a database collection

The JTran repository below contains a project for creating the main .Net NuGet package that you reference in your .Net projects in order to do JTran transformations.
The JTran repository below also contains a project for creating the console app to do command line transformations. This console app is also available in NuGet as a dotnet tool.
You can do JTran transformations in your Azure Devops pipelines using the Azure DevOps Custom Task. The JTran.CICD repository below contains the code for that custom task.
