Andromeda uses its own syntax for data files, which I would love to get
rid of.
JSON strikes me as a worthy candidate. Is anybody using it on the
server-side with enough confidence to answer this question: Can I type
a file of JSON stuff by hand and convert it easily into a nested
associative array?
The example from andromeda would be:
table table_name {
module: demo;
description: My Table Name;
column example { primary_key: Y; }
}
which we convert into an associative array:
$tables['table_name'] = array(
'module'=>'demo'
,'description'=>'My Table Name'
,'column'=>array(
'example'=>array('primary_key'=>'Y')
)
);
The only real need I have is a syntax that can easily specify
property-value pairs and nested elements which have their own
property-value pairs and their own nested elements and so on.
