+# `alloy-syntax-jsonnet` library
+
+The `alloy-syntax-jsonnet` library makes it possible to create Alloy syntax
+config files using Jsonnet.
+
+To manifest a configuration file, call `alloy.manifestAlloy(value)`.
+
+Field names from objects are expected to follow one of the three forms:
+
+* `<name>` for Alloy attributes (e.g., `foobar`).
+* `block <name>` for unlabeled Alloy blocks (e.g., `block exporter.unix`)
+* `block <name> <label>` for labeled Alloy blocks (.e.g, `block prometheus.remote_write default`).
+
+Instead of following these naming conventions, helper functions are provided to
+make it easier:
+
+* `alloy.attr(name)` returns a field name that can be used as an attribute.
+* `alloy.block(name, label="", index=0)` returns a field name that represents a block.
+  * The `index` parameter can be provided to make sure blocks get marshaled in
+    a specific order. If two blocks have the same index, they will be ordered
+    lexicographically by name and label.
+
+In addition to the helper functions, `alloy.expr(literal)` is used to inject a
+literal Alloy expression, so that `alloy.expr('env("HOME")')` is manifested as
+the literal Alloy expression `env("HOME")`.
+
+## Limitations
+
+* Manifested Alloy syntax files always have attributes and object keys in
+  lexicographic sort order, regardless of how they were defined in Jsonnet.
+* The resulting Alloy syntax files are not pretty-printed to how the formatter
+  would print files.
+
+## Example
+
+```jsonnet
+local alloy = import 'github.com/grafana/alloy/operations/alloy-syntax-jsonnet/main.libsonnet';
+
+alloy.manifestAlloy({
+  attr_1: "Hello, world!",
+
+  [alloy.block("some_block", "foobar")]: {
+    expr: alloy.expr('env("HOME")'),
+    inner_attr_1: [0, 1, 2, 3],
+    inner_attr_2: {
+      first_name: "John",
+      last_name: "Smith",
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+results in
+
+```alloy
+attr_1 = "Hello, world"
+some_block "foobar" {
+  expr = env("HOME")
+  inner_attr_1 = [0, 1, 2, 3]
+  inner_attr_2 = {
+    "first_name" = "John",
+    "last_name" = "Smith",
+  }
+}
+```
