MNRL: MNRL Network Representation Language

MNRL is an open source, JSON-based representation for graph-based structures. It is primarily used for representing finite automata; however, it is general enough to support other use cases. This repository contains the JSON specification for MNRL and APIs for:

• C++
• Haskell
• Python2
• Python3

Versions

• v1.1.1: Updated C++ API that is significantly faster for loading and validating MNRL files. NOTE: The API has changed slightly from v1.0 and is not backwards-compatible. We now use RapidJSON instead of JSON11 and ValiJSON.
• v1.0: Initial release
