deon

DeObject Notation Format

deon is a notation format for structured data.

deon is intended to be:

• light on syntax — friendly for human read/write, should feel more like note-taking than data entry;
• moderately fast — with a general use case for configuration-like files, loaded once at build/runtime;
• programming-lite — although not a programming language, the in-file imports and the linking (in-file variables) give deon a programmatic feel.

The deon filename extension is .deon, and the media type is application/deon.

Why deobject? More of a play-on-words, although a case can be made considering the linking feature and the possible 'assembling' of the root, as if the object has been de-structured.
