Simplified JSON

The JSON we all know and love but neat and support for variables.

Why?

Simplified JSON orignally started out when I was creating a JSON validator, but I kept getting my sytnax wrong because of mistypes. I got tired of quotes and colons, I wanted something more simple. I brainstormed if I made a version of JSON how I would want the sytntax, not only to make it easy to write for me but easy to read for people with no experience, they simply want to edit configs. I added support for variables, booleans are now simple yes and no values and no quotes are needed as type detection is built-in.

Usage

You can see examples over in the examples folder.

Syntax

- Comments: !! This is a comment
- Variable Definitions (non file): *define VarName as VarValue
- Variable Definitions (TXT file): *define VarName as require('file.txt')
- Variable Definitions (JS file): *define VarName as require('file.js')
- Variable Usage: key = *VarName*
- KV Pairs: key = value
- Objects: See examples (KV pairs in sections MUST be indented)
- Arrays (multiple items): key = [ArrayItem1, ArrayItem2]
- Arrays (single item): key = [ArrayItem1, none]
- Null values: nill
- Booleans: yes, no

Notes

- Variables extracted from JS files must share the same name as the one defined.
- Indentation must be followed.
- The system will see slowdowns should a large variable definition be present.

Planned features

1. Support for nested objects
2. Array of Objects support
