econf 1.0.77

EConf

EConf - A configuration file format designed to combine two qualities - simplicity and high parsing speed. Well, I hope it worked out!

Advantages:

• Simplicity (easy to edit, takes up little space);
• High parsing speed.

Disadvantages:

• Low popularity.

Installation

To install this package in DUB, you need to write "dub install conf" in the console of your project.

Work

To begin with, import the module via "import econf.econf;".

Next, create an EConf class with an argument in the form of an EConf code.

To get values, you can use the get template(and functions in template .Int,.Float,.Str,.Hex,.IntArr,.StrArr,.HexArr,.FloatArr,.Obj). (there are: an integer, a string, a floating-point number, a hexadecimal number, arrays of each of them and an object). To get all values from an object, use its getObjectChilds func.

To create a new value, use put. Also, in order to get the EConf code, use toksToString.

About the EConf syntax

To begin with, let me show you two codes: one is JSON, the other is EConf:

{"os": [{"name": "eplOS","author": "Ttimofeyka#1147"}]}

And

os { name "eplOS" author "Ttimofeyka#1147" }

It is immediately clear that the second one is much simpler, and it would be easier to write it than the first option. EConf to set the value of the identifier does not need additional characters (only space/tab/line break for digits), this is its main ease. That is, if in JSON you can do so:

{"os": ["eplOS","Ttimofeyka#1147"]}

Then everything will be somewhat simpler in EConf:

os ["eplOS" "Ttimofeyka#1147"]

Also, in EConf, you can write this as:

os["eplOS""Ttimofeyka#1147"]

There are only 9 types in EConf: string, integer, floating point number, hexadecimal number, array (for types before that) and object. Here is an example of their recording:

str "String"
int 0
float 0.56
hex 0x50
arr["10" "10"]
obj{a "b" c "d"}

Also, there are single-line comments in EConf that start with #:

#String
str"str"

in EConf, you can create several keys of the same name - then only the first one will get into the general hash table of keys. However, subsequent keys with the same name will continue to fall into the list of keys - you can get a list of all keys and values in order using the getList() function.
