Show HN: Zaml – My hand-written YAML alternative with minimal syntax
- simplify 8y agoHi HN, author here. I was fed up with the current state of configuration files, so I decided to create a better solution. Key features of Zaml are: - Minimal, straightforward syntax. Easy for non-technical people to edit. - Great error messages. If you write an invalid config, it tells you exactly why. - Free validation. Define a terse schema and Zaml will validate your data structure for you. One of my favorite features I just got working is dynamic syntax highlighting in the online editor[0]. Configuration keys are highlighted based on your schema! I think that's really cool :) Anyways, let me know what you think. It's not 1.0 yet, so it's not quite ready for production (but it's close!)
