gcl -- Generic Configuration Language
=====================================
GCL is an declarative modeling language that can be dropped into any Python project. It supports
dictionaries with name-value pairs, all the basic types you'd expect, lists, includes, and methods
for abstraction.
The goal for GCL is to be a modeling language with lots of expressive power, intended to make
complex configurations extremely DRY. Behavior is not part of the goal of the language; behavior and
semantics are added by scripts that interpret the GCL model.

Detailed documentation is available at [http://gcl.readthedocs.org](http://gcl.readthedocs.org)
Quick GCL showcase
------------------
GCL is built around named tuples, written with curly braces:
# This is a comment
# Various data types:
number = 1;
string = 'value'; # Strings can be doubly-quoted as well
bool = true; # Note: lowercase
expression = number * 2;
list = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
Expressions:
a = 1 + 1;
b = 'foo' + 'bar';
c = 80 * '-';
d = inc(1); # Function application
e = inc 1; # Can omit parens with 1 argument
# Conditionals
allow_test_commands = if stage == 'alpha' then true else false;
# List comprehension
evens = [ x * 2 for x in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] if x % 2 == 0 ];
Tuples and accessing tuple members:
tuple = {
foo = 3;
}
that_foo = tuple.foo;
Includes and tuple composition:
http = include 'library/http.gcl';
server = http.Server {
port = 8080;
}
Using the library
-----------------
You now know enough GCL to get started. Using the library looks like this:
import gcl
from gcl import util
# Load and evaluate the given file
model = gcl.load('myfile.gcl')
# This gives you a dict-like object back, that you can just index
print(model['element'])
# Translate the whole thing to a Python dict (for example to convert to JSON)
dict_model = util.to_python(model)
import json
print(json.dumps(dict_model))
Requirements
------------
* Uses `pyparsing`.

* Vim syntax definitions available: https://github.com/rix0rrr/vim-gcl
