For details on contributions we accept and the process for contributing, see our contribution guide.

In addition to the Go unit tests there is also a test runner that will run against the jsonata-js test suite in the jsonata-test directory. A number of these tests currently fail, but we're working towards feature parity with the jsonata-js reference implementation. Pull requests welcome!

If you would like to contribute to this library a good first issue would be to run the jsonata-test suite, and fix any of the tests not passing.
