Hi HN, author here. I was fed up with the current state of configuration files, so I decided to create a better solution. Key features of Zaml are:
- Minimal, straightforward syntax. Easy for non-technical people to edit.
- Great error messages. If you write an invalid config, it tells you exactly why.
- Free validation. Define a terse schema and Zaml will validate your data structure for you.
One of my favorite features I just got working is dynamic syntax highlighting in the online editor[0]. Configuration keys are highlighted based on your schema! I think that's really cool :)
Anyways, let me know what you think. It's not 1.0 yet, so it's not quite ready for production (but it's close!)
