a Libconfig Parser for js

Implemented after the Specs and powered by Sprache-js.

Implementation Status

• Parsing whole files

  • read files
  • Comments
    • ignore them
    • Script-style comments # comment line
    • C++-style comments // comment line
    • C-style comments /* comment */
  • Include Directives (maximum of 10 levels)

• Settings

  • Groups
  • Arrays
  • Lists
  • scalar value
    • Integer
      • hex notation
      • decimal notation
      • octal notation
      • signed Integers
    • 64-bit Integer (*ignores the 64bit part for now)
    • Float
      • Normal Floats
      • Signed Floats
      • Exponents
    • Boolean
    • Strings
      • Strings
      • Strings with escape sequences
      • Adjacent strings are automatically concatenated
      • Multiline string with <" and "> (Is not in the specs but used in the libconfig file I want to parse)

• serialization of js objects to libconfig files

Stages/Steps/TODO:

• Writing code and tests for parsing ✔️
• Optimizing code for parsing
• Writing code and tests for serialization to libconfig files
• Documentation and examples

Quirks

• You can do mixed number types (floats and its in same array) in Arrays which is not possible with normal libconfig

• Multiline string with <" and "> are not in the official specs, but they are supported by this module.
