How to programmatically parse c4 json output to its equivalent dsl

[alfakass]

I'm trying to programmatically parse c4 json to its equivalent dsl, and I can see that functionality already exists on https://structurizr.com/json, so can you please point me in the right direction on how that is implemented and possibly share the library that is used on https://structurizr.com/json to do the conversion.

The code that generates DSL has recently been removed from the codebase, but you if you clone the DSL repo at tag v1.25.0 you'll find it -> https://github.com/structurizr/dsl/releases/tag/v1.25.0

The class is com.structurizr.dsl.StructurizrDslFormatter and it will do a rudimentary job of converting a JSON workspace to a DSL equivalent. This is unsupported, and was only created to help people transition away from the Structurizr browser-based workspace editor, which was discontinued one year ago.

Just as an FYI, the DSL formatter at https://structurizr.com/json has also been removed from the codebase, and will be disappearing over the weekend.

Just to make sure I'm still on the right "path" @simonbrowndotje: What is the current idea to programatically generate Structurizr C4 Models/programatically modify existing ones?
