Parsing json back into ast

[sheerun]

Hey,

I'm interesting in writing a tool in language other than go-lang that generates a proper go-lang code. The easiest way I can think of, is to send go-lang source in JSON format (similar to output of goblin) to go-lang and allow it and generate proper go source.

Could you consider implementing a reverse operation in Goblin? That is parsing JSON back into AST of go-lang? If not, are you maybe aware of other libraries implementing such functionality?

I think this is out of scope for goblin itself, but if you happen to write/encounter any libraries that do this, I'd be happy to link to them in the README (and ensure strict semver compatibility so that their upstream doesn't break.)

If you were interested in doing this yourself, it would really not be too difficult: the goblin code is long, owing to Go's somewhat low-level nature, but it's not complicated.

I didn't. Thank you for response
