stupid custom data format - contains js code to parse, and sublime text 3 syntax highlighting file
here's an example of a file:
description: a simple key-value pair
example: bar
description: string-wrapping support
example: so many bars all the bars in the
universe and some bars from even some
other universes really a lot of bars.
description: array of strings
example:
one string
another string
description: array of structures
example:
foo:bar
ding:bat
foo:bar
ding:bat
to parse it, just do
var slab = require("./js/slab")
var db = slab.loadFile('myfile.slab');
and it will look like this:
[
{
"description": "a simple key value pair",
"example": "bar"
},
{
"description": "string-wrapping support",
"example": "so many bars all the bars in the universe and some bars from even some other universes really a lot of bars."
},
{
"description": "array of strings",
"example": [
"one string",
"another string"
]
},
{
"description": "array of structures",
"example": [
{
"foo": "bar",
"ding": "bat"
},
{
"foo": "bar",
"ding": "bat"
}
]
}
]
The equivalent YAML is
---
- description: a simple key value pair
example: bar
- description: string-wrapping support
example: so many bars all the bars in the universe and some bars from even some
other universes really a lot of bars.
- description: array of strings
example:
- one string
- another string
- description: array of structures
example:
- foo: bar
ding: bat
- foo: bar
ding: bat
Which is basically the same as the SLAB version, and has far more robust code.
(Warning, it doesn't support depths of >2 right now...)
To get the syntax highlighter to work, copy the .sublime-syntax file to your Packages/User directory in sublime text.
