Procyon

Procyon is a simple object notation. It's a little more than JSON and a lot less than YAML. For a quick introduction, see lang.pn.

Types

There are eight Procyon types:

In addition to short form, the four vector types have a long form:

Tools

pnfmt

Procyon notation has a standard style and format. The pnfmt tool will automatically convert files to the standard style and rewrap strings for readability.

usage: pnfmt [-i | -o OUT] [IN]

options:
 -i, --in-place               format file in-place
 -o, --output=FILE            write output to path
 -h, --help                   show this help screen

pn2json

pn2json converts Procyon to JSON, with a few conversions for unsupported types and values:

Procyon	JSON
`inf`	`1e999`
`nan`	`null`
`$0123`	`"0123"`

usage: pn2json [options] [FILE.pn]

options:
     --traditional            format JSON traditionally (default)
     --comma-first            format JSON with comma first
 -m, --minify                 minify JSON
 -r, --root                   print root string or data instead of JSON
 -h, --help                   show this help screen
