big-slpp 1.0.5

SirAnthony's SLPP, but modernized code (also, trailing comma's)

Big-SLPP

Big-SLPP is a simple lua-python data structures parser that also has trailing comma's.

It also has two helper functions to help me re-create the files, as created by WoW.

Example input

-- This is a lua file from the game World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
-- I need those keys sorted, because WoW/Lua keeps moving around the keys for
-- no good damn reason >:(
-- HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRACK MY SETTINGS IN A REPO, BLIZZARD!?
-- jk, I know Wrath is still relatively rough around the edges.

_NPCScanOptionsCharacter = {
	["Achievements"] = {
		[1312] = true,
		[2257] = true,
	},
	["NPCs"] = {
		[18684] = "Bro'Gaz the Clanless",
		[32491] = "Time-Lost Proto Drake",
	},
	["Version"] = "3.3.5.5",
	["NPCWorldIDs"] = {
		[18684] = 3,
		[32491] = 4,
	},
}

SLPP.decode() output (not what I was looking for)

-- This is a lua file from the game World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
-- I need those keys sorted, because WoW/Lua keeps moving around the keys for
-- no good damn reason >:(
-- HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO TRACK MY SETTINGS IN A REPO, BLIZZARD!?
-- jk, I know Wrath is still relatively rough around the edges.


["_NPCScanOptionsCharacter"] = {
	["Achievements"] = {
		[1312] = true,
		[2257] = true
	},
	["NPCWorldIDs"] = {
		[18684] = 3,
		[32491] = 4
	},
	["NPCs"] = {
		[18684] = "Bro'Gaz the Clanless",
		[32491] = "Time-Lost Proto Drake"
	},
	["Version"] = "3.3.5.5"
}

Note the lack of trailing comma's, and _NPCScanOptionsCharacter being wrapped in quotes and brackets.

big_slpp.utils.unwrap()'s output

_NPCScanOptionsCharacter = {
	["Achievements"] = {
		[1312] = true,
		[2257] = true,
	},
	["NPCWorldIDs"] = {
		[18684] = 3,
		[32491] = 4,
	},
	["NPCs"] = {
		[18684] = "Bro'Gaz the Clanless",
		[32491] = "Time-Lost Proto Drake",
	},
	["Version"] = "3.3.5.5",
}

Practically the same, but sorted! :D Also, trailing comma's!
