Rocana Configuration

rocana-configuration is a JSON-like configuration format intended to be handled by humans. Some of the additional functionality includes:

  • Comments
  • Dictionary keys without quotes
  • Rich data types such as floats, doubles, data sizes, and durations
  • Java API for marshalling configuration files to types

Examples

Currently, examples come in the form of unit tests.

Comparison with JSON

JSON is a great data interchange format, but is often used as a configuration format. JSON can be tedious to modify by hand because of required quoting for both keys and values.

Comparison with Java Properties

Java Properties files are the de-facto standard for configuration in Java projects. However, they lack a few features that would improve editing by hand:

  • Nested data structures
  • Non-string keys and values
  • Arrays
