DESCRIPTION

JKML is parser library for JKML. JKML is yet another markup language.

This module is alpha state. Any API will change without notice.

What's difference between JSON?

JKML extends following features:

Raw strings
Comments

These features are very useful for writing test data.

JKML and encoding

You MUST use UTF-8 for every JKML data.

JKML Grammar

Raw strings

JKML allows raw strings. Such as following:

raw_string =
      "r'" .*? "'"
    | 'r"' .*? '"'
    | 'r"""' .*? '"""'
    | "r'''" .*? "'''"

Every raw string literals does not care about non terminater characters.

r'hoge'
r"hoge"
r"""hoge"""
r'''hoge'''
Comments

Perl5 style comemnt is allowed.

# comment
String

String literal is compatible with JSON.

string = sqstring | dqstring

 dqstring = '"' dqchar* '"'
 sqstring = "'" sqchar* "'"

 dqchar = unescaped | "'" | escaped
 sqchar = unescaped | '"' | escaped

 escaped = escape (
            %x22 /          ; "    quotation mark  U+0022
            %x5C /          ; \    reverse solidus U+005C
            %x2F /          ; /    solidus         U+002F
            %x62 /          ; b    backspace       U+0008
            %x66 /          ; f    form feed       U+000C
            %x6E /          ; n    line feed       U+000A
            %x72 /          ; r    carriage return U+000D
            %x74 /          ; t    tab             U+0009
            %x75 4HEXDIG )  ; uXXXX                U+XXXX

 escape = %x5C              ; \

 quotation-mark = %x22      ; "

 unescaped = [^"'\]
Number

Number literal is compatible with JSON. See JSON RFC.

3
3.14
3e14
Map

Map literal's grammar is:

pair = string "=>" value
map = "{" "}"
    | "{" pair ( "," pair )* ","?  "}"

You can omit quotes for keys, if you don't want to type it.

You can use trailing comma unlike JS.

Examples:

{
    a => 3,
    "b" => 4,
}
Array
array = "[" "]"
      | "[" value ( "," value )* ","? "]"

Examples:

[1,2,3]
[1,2,3,]
heredoc

Ruby style heredoc.

<<-TOC
hoghoge
TOC
Value
value = map | array | string | raw_string | number | funcall
Boolean
bool = "true" | "false"
NULL
null = "null"

Will decode to undef.

Function call
funcall = ident "(" value ")"
ident = [a-zA-Z_] [a-zA-Z0-9_]*

JKML supports some builtin functions.

Builtin functions

base64
