JSON-based build tool?

Question

I'm looking for a build tool (such as ant, maven, make, etc.) that uses JSON-based configuration files?

Does such a tool exist?

Answer 1

Nokia/Qt just announced their "QBS" build system, which is JSON-based, and is actually a build engine intended for easy adoption by IDEs (a principal reason for adopting JSON).

Introducing qbs

Rather than a "pre-make" generator of Makefiles/vcprojs/etc. (like CMake and QMake, etc.), qbs is intended to actually be the build engine.

Answer 2

Google turned up Gaudi though it is still in the early phases.
