limabean-harvest

This is a new importer and framework for Beancount using Rust and Clojure and the Lima parser.

There are existing and mature import frameworks for Beancount, so why build another one? The differentiating features of limabean-harvest are:

• configuration as data structure not code (but see below for an argument that says this is a misfeature!)
• inference of secondary accounts from payee and narration fields, which in particular enables:
• pairing of transactions between accounts where both accounts are imported in the same group

Transaction pairing is perhaps its most compelling feature, to avoid duplication of transactions when importing from accounts at both ends of a transaction.

Alternatives

limabean-harvest is very new. For now, or perhaps forever, you may be better served by one of the alternatives.

Also, beancount_reds_importers makes a strong case for code-as-config. It is possible that the limabean-harvest approach of mostly declarative configuration with minimal custom code may be insufficient for more complex needs. In which case, go and enjoy beancount_reds_importers. 😊
