A JSON-shorthand that:

- Stores insertion order
- Embraces the offside-rule
- Reuses JSON types

Demo

Hello, human!

Syntax

See language_reference.md

Use Cases

- Wiki Data-entry
- Software Design
- Interactive Documents

Installation

Node:

``

bash

npm install damon2





Building

Bash

npm run watch # dev

npm run build # distribuable





Usage



Core methods:

js

const Damon = require('damon2');

let damon = new Damon();

let damonString =

- {}
- key: "value"

;



console.log(damon.damonToJSON(damonString));

// {

//     "key": "value"

// }



console.log(damon.jsonToDAMON(damon.damonToJSON(damonString)));

// - {}

//     - key: "value"



console.log(damon.damonToMap(damonString));

// Map(1) {"key" => "value"}





IJSON export



For ordered-JSON and key-value S-Expressions:

js

const Damon = require('damon2');

let damon = new Damon();

let damonString =

- key: {}
- key: null

;



console.log(damon.damonToIJSON(damonString));

// {

//     "0-key": {

//          "0-key": null

//     }

// }



// Or, using DAMON-UTILS:

const DamonUtils = require('damon-utils');

const damonUtils = new DamonUtils(damon);

console.log(damonUtils.damonToSExpression(damonString));

// ["key", "key"]
