Show HN: A little file config format I made
Would love any feedback, especially on the documentation. Is it clear what the purpose of "Higml" is? Is its advantage clear?
Thanks!
- nonrecursive 16y agoTonight I finally extracted this from a project I'm working on. I'm not really sure how to describe what it does. In the readme I have "Higml is a terse format for converting an input hash to an output hash." If anyone could take a look and tell me what you think of the project I'd appreciate it. Is the documentation helpful? Is it clear when "higml" would be useful? Thanks
- kissproof 16y agoI'm not sure what the world needs is another config file format. What's the impetus behind reinventing the wheel for the 400th time? Between YAML, JSON, XML, and the 40000 other annoyingly dissimilar config formats people have invented, what does this have to offer the rest don't?
- nonrecursive 16y agoThe main advantage of my config format is that it takes a css-selector-style approach to determining the final configuration. This makes it much easier to create config file with complicated conditions and to understand it.
