Ideally having constructors/builders as suggested by cedar-policy/cedar#366 would be great but to my understanding that is not yet available even in Rust version.
This could be done in the Java interface independently of whether it exists in the Rust public API. (The cedar-java
package doesn't use the main Rust public API anyways, it uses the interface in the ffi
module of the Rust.) Essentially it would be constructors/builders for the Java Policy
object, that under-the-hood assemble a JSON policy object that could be sent across the FFI.
Understood, thanks. Seems like it would make more sense to have a separate feature request for constructors/builders approach in Java, and focus this one on Policy.fromJson
implementation, since it seems to be a quick thing to add.
Implemented via #223. Thank you, @n-smir.

Describe the feature you'd like to request
Currently there's
Policy::from_json
method available for Rust, but is not exposed to CedarJava bindings.I'd like to be able to create Cedar policy object in Java from JSON representation of the policy.
Ideally having constructors/builders as suggested by cedar-policy/cedar#366 would be great but to my understanding that is not yet available even in Rust version.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Considered using Cedar text policy representations, but this presents challenges with serializing/de-serializing Java objects, effectively requiring to write a custom Cedar parser. JSON representation would easily converted to and from Java objects.
