non-crap config language
It's as easy as five cents. Also not crap, which is kind of the point.
In rust:
rust
let config = nccl::parse_file("config.nccl").unwrap();
let ports = config["server"]["port"].keys_as::<i64>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(ports, vec![80, 443]);
config.nccl:
server
domain
example.com
www.example.com
port
80
443
root
/var/www/html
nccl stores your configuration internally as a tree. Leaf nodes are referred
to as "values," and branch nodes are referred to as "keys." So in this example,
root is a key, and /var/www/html is its value.
Nccl lets you define your own configuration to inherit from. Just use
nccl::parse_file_with with the result from the configuration you would like
to inherit from.
Note, if a key is present in both the parent configuration and the child configuration, the key will not be duplicated. Values that are present in both configurations with the same path will be duplicated.
inherit.nccl:
``` hello world panama friends doggos
sandwich meat bologne ham cheese provolone cheddar ```
inherit2.nccl:
``` hello world alaska neighbor friends John Alex
sandwich meat turkey cheese muenster ```
In rust:
rust
let schemas = nccl::parse_file("examples/inherit.nccl").unwrap();
let user = nccl::parse_file_with("examples/inherit2.nccl", schemas).unwrap();
assert_eq!(user["sandwich"]["meat"].keys().len(), 3);
assert_eq!(user["hello"]["world"].keys().len(), 3);
```
key value

strings are bare words unless you want newlines in which case: "just\nuse quotes" "this is still valid" this """too"""
lists juan deaux key value 3 false
indentation? must use the same for top-level values eg 2 or 4 spaces for one key or tabs for one key ```
