Title: Nice format I wasn't aware of
Post by: Zero on December 14, 2019, 10:01:27 pm

I just discovered eno (https://eno-lang.org/), a very nice data format: lightweight, elegant. If you like syntax and languages, you should appreciate this one.

I can imagine it as a format for exchanging data between users, or in-memory database. It can also represent a format that replaces XML. In short, it is about data, and data can be used everywhere (input, processing, output).

Yes, I wouldn't explain it better.

It represents structured data, just like JSON or XML, or YAML. But I like it because it's human-friendly, it's concise, and the spec is neat. Also, 1 killer advantage is the built-in comments feature. Associated comments are a very useful idea. Multi-line fields are clever too.
