stone-definitions v11.2.0

Stone is a standard on how to refer to past-and-present gaming consoles and their controllers.

Rationale

Stone gives each unique video game console and their common controller layouts a unique ID. This makes references to a certain console or controller unambiguous. Stone serves as a source of truth for video game console metadata, their consoles, and the formats with which their games are distributed in. It provides a semantic definition for the button layouts for various controllers, as well as unambiguous and unique content-types for various formats that games are distributed and archived in.

Usage

Stone comes in the form of a compiled and minified json file. You can simply parse this file to get the latest stone definitions.

C#

var stone = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject("stone.dist.json");

Node.js

var stone = require('stone-definitions')
