An SDLang (Simple Declarative Language) library for D, to read and write SDLang. Both a DOM and a Pull Parser are provided.
Officially supported compiler versions are shown in .travis.yml.
SDL is a data language like JSON, XML or YAML, except it's:
This is what SDL looks like (some of these examples, and more, are from the original SDL site:
// A couple basic values
first "Joe"
last "Coder"
// Supports values, named attributes, and various data types
numbers 12 53 2 635
names "Sally" "Frank N. Stein"
pets chihuahua="small" dalmation="hyper" mastiff="big"
mixed 34.7f "Tim" somedate=2010/08/14
// Supports child tags
folder "myFiles" color="yellow" protection=on {
folder "my images" {
file "myHouse.jpg" color=true date=2005/11/05
file "myCar.jpg" color=false date=2002/01/05
}
folder "my documents" {
document "resume.pdf"
}
}
Tags are of this form:
[tag name] [values] [attributes] [children]
Attributes are simply values with names.
Tag and attribute names can optionally include a namespace prefix (ie,
namespace:name
). All parts are optional, the only exception being
that an anonymous (ie, no name) tag must have at least one value.
Also:
\
(backslash). This can be used
to split a tag across multiple lines.#
, //
or --
./*
and end with the first occurrence
of */
(ie, they do not nest).For more details on the langauge, see the Language Guide.
""
