  # Dist::META [Test-install distro](https://github.com/JJ/raku-dist-meta/actions/workflows/test.yaml)
  
  The main intention of this module is to offer an uniform API for data that
  might be spread over different keys in the
  [`META6.json` file](https://docs.raku.org/language/modules#index-entry-META6.json-META6.json).
  
  This initial version, however, will focus on getting dependencies right, in a
  single array.
  
  ## Installing
  
  The usual
  
  ```
  zef install Dist::META
  
  ```
  
  ## Running
  
  `Dist::META` subclasses [`META6`](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/META6); please check out that distribution for its common API. It adds a class
  attribute, `.dependencies`. Over this META6.json
  
  ```
  {
    "name" : "JSON::Marshal",
    "tags" : [ "object", "serialisation", "JSON" ],
    "authors" : [ "Jonathan Stowe <jns+git@gellyfish.co.uk>" ],
    "author" : "Jonathan Stowe <jns+git@gellyfish.co.uk>",
    "auth" : "github:jonathanstowe",
    "support" : {
      "source" : "git://github.com/jonathanstowe/JSON-Marshal.git"
    },
    "source-url" : "git://github.com/jonathanstowe/JSON-Marshal.git",
    "perl" : "6",
    "build-depends" : [ ],
    "provides" : {
       "JSON::Marshal" : "lib/JSON/Marshal.pm"
    },
    "depends" : [ "JSON::Tiny" ],
    "test-depends" : [
      "Test"
    ],
    "description" : "Simple serialisation of objects to JSON",
    "version" : "0.0.1"
  }
  
  ```
  
  You can run this program
  
  ```
  use Dist::META;
  my $obj = Dist::META.new(file => $meta-path); # Use path to above file
  say $obj.dependencies[0]; # Prints JSON::Tiny
  say $obj.dependencies[0].DependencyType; # RUNTIMEDEP
  say $obj.dependencies[1].DependencyType; # TESTDEP;
  
  ```
  
  `.dependencies` is an array with all dependencies, "tagged" (using mix-ins
  ) with `RUNTIMEDEP`,`BUILDDEP` or `TESTDEP`, depending on where they have
  been defined (independently of the META6.json key they have used).
  
  ## See also
  
  [Test::META](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Test-META/) tests that
  specifications are correct. [`Pakku::Spec`](https://github.com/hythm7/Pakku-Spec), part of the Pakku package manager, also contains a parser for
  `META6.json that is closer to the current spec.
