This still takes up more space than plain JSON would, but I don't know if serde_json would allow inlining that JSON. Presumably not. It would get hairy quickly as a regular embedded JSON string due to the encoding.
NIH plugs
Because of course we need to remake everything from scratch!
This is a work in progress JUCE-lite-lite written in Rust to do some experiments
with. The idea is to have a statefull but simple plugin API without too much
magic, while also cutting unnecessary ceremony wherever possible. Since this is
not meant for general use (yet), the plugin API is limited to the functionality
I needed, and I'll expose more functionality as I need it. See the doc comment
in the Plugin trait for an incomplete list of missing functionality.
Building
After installing https://rustup.rs/ you can compile any of the plugins
in the plugins directory in the following way, replacing gain with the name
of the plugin:
cargo xtask bundle gain --release --bundle-vst3
Licensing
Right now everything is licensed under the GPLv3+ license, partly because the VST3 bindings used are also GPL licensed. I may split off the VST3 wrapper into its own crate and relicense the core library under a more permissive license later.
