PYSON

Maintained by: OmegaGodzilla66, ComputingSquid, CoolSchnoodle, and nmd102

Overview

The purpose of this project is to provide a python-based alternative to JSON. This is a (almost) fully functional JSON-inspired data management system!

How to Use

This is a pip package, so to use this in python you can just pip install pyson-data. From there, you can just import pyson_data as pyson. Support for other languages may come soon.

Quickstart

Documentation

Documentation has also been moved to the project wiki here to decrease clutter in the README.

Supported Types

There are 4 supported types: int, float, str, and list

• An int is a whole number
• A str is some text
• A list is a list of values, which currently have to all be strings. List items are seperated by the (*) seperator. Currently there is no escaping support. I don't really know why you would use (*) normally in a list.
• A float is a decimal number, that can be any value representable by a 64-bit floating point number.
  More supported types may be added at some point in the future.
