Description

Serializes double-entry accounting ledgers to JSON package format.

Release Mode

In release mode, mktxn produces a tarball comprised of two JSON files:

.TXNINFO

Inspired by Arch Linux .PKGINFO files, .TXNINFO files contain accounting ledger metadata useful in simple queries.

{
  "pkgname" : "with-includes",
  "pkgver" : "0.0.1",
  "pkgrel" : 1,
  "pkgdesc" : "Sample transactions with include directives",
  "compiler" : "mktxn v0.1.0 2018-04-21T14:14:33.931470Z",
  "entities-seen" : [
    "FooCorp",
    "Personal",
    "WigwamLLC"
  ],
  "count" : 112
}

txn.json

txn.json contains the output of serializing the accounting ledger to JSON.
