That example also caught my attention, but in a bad way. It looks just like a comeback of one of the worst ideas of YAML.
My immediate question would be what's the JSON for this SEN I've crafted:
{
array: [string1 string2 "true" true True TRUE yes y]
}
For more fun, there's a single problematic entry here, can you spot it?:
1.20.4
1.204.4
1.20
1.204
1.20.0
1.20.00
1.20-rc2
Or, level expert, there's exactly one problem here as well:
0a1f
0bfd
0c0c
0d01
0e02
- tomthe 3y agoThank you for thinking more deeply about this than I did! But I do not see a problem in your first example, only true is the true true (according to my browser and the linked definition on https://www.json.org https://www.json.org) I don't get your other examples, can you explain? I assumed that 1.20.4 is not a valid SEN entry, because it starts with a digit but is not a number.
- kubanczyk 3y agoMy bad, you are right about 1.20.4 (and also my 0e02 example wouldn't be a valid SEN value). The true/"true" leaves a bad taste in my mouth after yaml, but overall SEN is an improvement :)
- jarym 3y agoI'm not following: ` { array: [string1 string2 "true" true True TRUE yes y] } ` Doesn't look like a valid SEN or JSON. The `y` `yes`, `True`, TRUE` aren't valid keywords/variables/consts and `string1` and `string2` look like variable references which aren't something SEN or JSON support. The closest valid thing I can imagine is: ` { array: ["string1" "string2" "true" true "True" "TRUE" "yes" "y"] } `
- mjpa86 3y agoaren't they implied strings? If "[a b c]" is an array of 3 strings, "a", "b" and "c", then True is a string "True". That's the problem.
- jarym 3y agoI must be missing why you think they're implied strings - I don't see that in the spec. What I do see is: "Strings can also be delimited with a single quote character which allows for a string to be either "abc" or 'abc'." There's no mention of having a string without a delimeter.
- ReleaseCandidat 3y agoThe example below is this: > array: [a b c]
- jarym 3y agoohhh I see it now, that looks like a recipe for... issues.
- pjc50 3y agoLet me guess: 0e02 is interpreted as floating point?
- k_process 3y agoDitto 1.20, and when interpreted as floating point the trailing zero loses significance. So as a version this is indistinguishable from 1.2
