Gophercraft/text

The Gophercraft text format is used in Gophercraft for configuration and data interchange.

You can think about it as a more restricted version of JSON, but with comments

Another difference from JSON is that it cannot be used to represent arbitrary structures. Data must be serialized according to Go types.

Example document

type Document struct {
  StringField  string
  IntegerSlice []int
  Map          map[string]string
}

{
  /*
  *
  *
  * Block comments
  * 
  */
  
  // Or double-slash comments are allowed
  StringField QuotesUnnecessary

  // Keys and values are both words. All words may be quoted.
  "IntegerSlice"
  {
    1
    2
    3
    "4" // Not a string, but can be quoted.
  }

  Map
  {
    "Key" value
    other_key "another value"
  }
}
