## What it is
A Jsonnet library for generating Grafana dashboard JSON files as code. This repository is deprecated and replaced by the generated grafana/grafonnet library, though it remains available for existing code.

## Use cases
- generate grafana dashboards as code
- write grafana dashboard json with jsonnet
- manage monitoring dashboards programmatically
- template grafana dashboards
- version control grafana dashboard definitions

## When to choose
- maintaining existing code that already depends on this library
- you need the original hand-written grafonnet API

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use grafana/grafonnet instead
- you need new features or bug fixes
- you want an actively maintained dashboard-as-code library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: configuration-management, developer-tools, json
- domain: developer-tools, monitoring
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: jsonnet, grafana, dashboards-as-code, deprecated, observability, automation
