OpenFGA DSL Parser (Python)

The OpenFGA DSL Parser provides utilities for parsing DSL file string inputs into an AST representation, as well as transforming them into a JSON representation.

This library is meant to be a utility for services using OpenFGA for their authorization solution, but need a way to translate from their DSL to the JSON format the HTTP API expects.

    define member as self

  relations
    define writer as self
    define reader as self but not writer"""

json = dsl_to_json(input)
print(json)
