I agree that JSON+ITS would be a better long term solution. I don’t currently have time to work on it, but have requested that it get put in the roadmap for our current project at work, which will hopefully result in me getting time to work on it in some weeks’ time.

I don’t believe there is a JSONPath implementation for json-c. The only JSON library I could find with JSONPath support is json-glib, but that brings in a lot of dependencies (and circular ones) for gettext. It should be possible to implement a JSONPath parser internally without too much difficulty (it’s not a complex standard; in fact, it’s not a standard at all, but merely a suggestion on a web page, which makes implementing it a little interesting — various bits of it are ill-defined).

While the patch looks reasonable, I would like to see JSON+ITS being implemented at some point:

Do you know if there is any JSONPath implementation for json-c?

ClutterScript is a UI definition language for the Clutter toolkit, based on JSON. It allows marking translatable strings by adding a ‘translatable’ attribute to an object, and putting the string to be translated in a ‘string’ attribute. Translations are looked up by Clutter at runtime, rather than being merged back into the ClutterScript file.

https://developer.gnome.org/clutter/stable/ClutterScript.html

This adds an extractor for ClutterScript files, which uses json-c to parse the JSON. The dependency is optional, and can be disabled by compiling gettext with --without-json-c.

A couple of new test cases are included, which will be skipped if ClutterScript support is compiled out.
