proposal — JSON schema

[chiboreache]

How can I parse that !?

[
  [
    {
      "w": 1.5
    },
    "Esc",
    {
      "x": 0.5
    },
    "F1"
  ]
]

just don't get it…

Here is my proposal:

[
  [
    {
      "key": "Esc",
      "width": 1.5
    },
    {
      "key": null,
      "width": 0.5
    },
    {
      "key": "F1",
      "width": 1
    }
  ]
]

key is to have all parameters inside the key-object

If you are going to consider changing the format I humbly suggest you use the format we've decided on in QMK. This would allow sharing layout files between keyboard-layout-editor and QMK Configurator. We describe it here: https://docs.qmk.fm/#/reference_info_json?id=layout-format

We'd be willing to extend that format to cover KLE's needs.

So it's the standart already, ok, I get it

but instead implement special parser for 1000 loc(founded in some helper site) we could all just use a dead simple json...

It's admittedly pretty arcane (it made sense at the time), but I'm not currently looking to change the format.

However, if you want to read the files to do something with them, I did just create an NPM package with official code to deserialize the format. https://github.com/ijprest/kle-serial
