wday 2.0.5

A simple Data storage language

WDay (Whirl Data, alternative to YAML)

A simple Data storage alternative to json and yaml

How to use?

You just call the module by the read() function to read the data..

example:

>>> import wday
>>> data = 'Windows::['v11'::{'quality':['best','great']}]'
>>> print(wday.read(data))
{'Windows': ['v11', {'quality': ['best', 'great']}]}

DOCS for WDay:

there's not much to learn here.. just look at the simple syntax

Name::[value1::[list_item_1,list_item_2]::{dictonary_key_1:dictonary_key_1_value}]

That's soooo simple!

1. But what is the separator as an alternative to comma ","?

the "::" that you can see is the separator for the data values..

2. What if my data has square brackets? or "::"?

that's simple use a :: in place of "::" and [, ] in place of "[" or "]"

3. what about comments?

Commented lines start with '~' and there is no inline comment as of now

4. What is the line beginning with @?

that is a remark..

EXAMPLE DATA:

~ this is a comment as you know...
wday::["v1"::{"by":"Whirlpool programmer"}]

~ EXAMPLE 2:
~ Python File runner as configured in WhirlEdit 2.0 by default:
Python::[".py"::"python $file"]

Special Function script():

So.. There is a special function called "script()" which makes wday a language..

in script, you give it a script which it runs.. it has its own specific rules..

1. every line has to end in ';'
2. example if..else.. statement:

   if (name=="hello"):
       console.put('is "hello" a name?!');
   

3. to use a variable from outside of a function, it should be made global variable..

example:

@config.theme
Themefolder::['./Themes/']
DefaultTheme::['azure-dark.whTheme']

@config.scheme/highlight
Schemefolder::['$default']
DefaultScheme::['azure']

@config.font
Font::['Consolas'::12]

'''
def function(*args):
	global entry;
	global name;
	if (entry.get() == "windows"):
		console.put('hello MS-Windows!');
		name.set('MS-Windows');
	else:
		console.put('hi..');

name = StringVar();
name.set('none..');
entry = gui.Entry(window);
entry.grid();
btn = gui.Button(window,text="check?",command = function);
btn.grid();
label = gui.Label(window,textvariable = name);
label.grid();
window.mainloop();
'''

As you can see.. It also has gui functionalities.. inspired from Tkinter.. and remember.. the main data of the file is stored in a variable called init.. so you can use this program too:

Whirledit::['v1'::'v2'::'v3']

'''
#HERE STARTS THE PROGRAM!
console.put(init);
# as you remember, init is the data..
'''

OUTPUT: {'@': [], "Whirledit":['v1', 'v2', 'v3']}
