title: preserves-schema-rkt
---
The `preserves-schema-rkt` program reads
[Preserves Schema](../preserves-schema.html) DSL input files. For each
input file, it produces a Racket source file of the same name but
with `.rkt` in place of `.prs`.
Instead of using this tool, you may prefer to use `#lang
preserves-schema` to use Schema DSL syntax in an ordinary Racket
module source file.
## Installation
Install Racket. Then, `raco pkg install preserves`.
## Usage
usage: preserves-schema-rkt [ <option> ... ] [<input-glob>] ...
<option> is one of
--output <directory>
Output directory for modules (default: next to sources)
--stdout
Prints each module to stdout one after the other instead of writing them to files in the `--output` directory
--no-write-files
Disables generation of output to the filesystem
--base <directory>
Base directory for sources (default: common prefix)
* --module <namespace=path>
Additional Namespace=path import
* --plugin-lib <lib-path>, -l <lib-path>
Load compiler plugin library
* --plugin-file <rkt-file-path>, -f <rkt-file-path>
Load compiler plugin source file
--help, -h
Show this help
--
Do not treat any remaining argument as a switch (at this level)
* Asterisks indicate options allowed multiple times.
Multiple single-letter switches can be combined after
one `-`. For example, `-h-` is the same as `-h --`.

title: preserves-schema-ts
---
The `preserves-schema-ts` program reads
[Preserves Schema](../preserves-schema.html) DSL input files. For each
input file, it produces a TypeScript source file of the same name but
with `.ts` in place of `.prs`.
## Installation
Install node.js v12 or newer. Then, `yarn global add @preserves/schema`.
## Usage
Usage: preserves-schema-ts [options] [input...]
Compile Preserves schema definitions to TypeScript
Arguments:
input Input filename or glob
Options:
--output <directory> Output directory for modules (default: next to sources)
--stdout Prints each module to stdout one after the other instead of writing them to files in the `--output`
directory
--base <directory> Base directory for sources (default: common prefix)
--core <path> Import path for @preserves/core (default: "@preserves/core")
--watch Watch base directory for changes
--traceback Include stack traces in compiler errors
--module <namespace=path> Additional Namespace=path import (default: [])

title: preserves-schemac
---
The `preserves-schemac` program reads
[Preserves Schema](../preserves-schema.html) DSL input files and
outputs a binary-syntax Preserves document conforming to the
[metaschema](https://gitlab.com/preserves/preserves/-/blob/main/schema/schema.prs).
It can either output single `Schema` records (corresponding to a
single input file), or a `Bundle` of `Schema`s (corresponding to a
directory tree of files).
## Installation
Install node.js v12 or newer. Then, `yarn global add @preserves/schema`.
## Usage
Usage: preserves-schemac [options] [input...]
Compile textual Preserves schema definitions to binary format
Arguments:
input Input filename or glob
Options:
--no-bundle Emit a single Schema instead of a schema Bundle
--base <directory> Base directory for sources (default: common prefix)
-h, --help display help for command
## Examples
### Single file (non-bundle)
Given a file [`demo.prs`](demo.prs) containing:
version 1 .
JSON =
/ @string string
/ @integer int
/ @double double
/ @boolean JSONBoolean
/ @null =null
/ @array [JSON ...]
/ @object { string: JSON ...:... } .
JSONBoolean = =true / =false .
running the following:
preserves-schemac --no-bundle demo.prs
will produce the following binary file on `stdout`:

pretty-print it produces:

}
}>
### Multiple file (bundle)
Given a directory tree containing multiple `*.prs` files, running
preserves-schemac '**.prs'
will produce a binary `Bundle` on `stdout` containing one `Schema` for
each input file in the tree.

title: preserves-tool
---
The `preserves-tool` program is a swiss army knife for translating
Preserves document syntax to and from various surface syntaxes, for
stripping annotations, and for pretty-printing.
It reads Preserves `Value`s (either a fixed number (`--count`) or
until EOF (`--all`)) from `stdin`, autodetecting binary or text syntax
for each by default, and prints the same `Value`s either using the
same or a different Preserves syntax on `stdout`. By default, it will
print using text syntax with pretty-printing.
## Installation
Install Racket. Then, `raco pkg install preserves`.
## Usage
usage: preserves-tool [ <option> ... ]
<option> is one of
--atob
Text to binary
--all
Read until EOF (default)
--count <n>
Read n items
--btoa
Binary to text
--ia, --input-any
Autodetect input mode (default)
--ib, --input-binary
Set binary input mode
--it, --input-text
Set text input mode
--ob, --output-binary
Set binary output mode
--ot, --output-text
Set text output mode (default)
--indent
Enable indent and set text output mode (default)
--no-indent
Disable indent and set text output mode
--annotations
Output annotations (default)
--no-annotations
Strip annotations
