SDLang-D: A library to parse/generate SDL (Simple Data Language) files. Offers both DOM and StAX/Pull APIs.

SDL is like XML/JSON/YAML, but is low-verbosity, simpler than YAML, and supports comments and basic datatypes. It looks like this:

------------------------
// An example of SDL:
folder "myFiles" color="yellow" protection=on {
    folder "my images" {
        file "myHouse.jpg" color=true date=2005/11/05
        file "myCar.jpg" color=false date=2002/01/05
    }
    // Another folder
    folder "my documents" {
        document "resume.pdf"
    }
}
------------------------

- Change: Updated package.json to newer dub.json name.

- Fixed: #16: Now fixed for DUB users, too: Access Violation when using the pull parser.

- Fixed: #21: Remove unneeded "buildOptions" from DUB package config (fixes a DUB warning) (@schuetzm)

- Fixed: #28/#29: Wrong line count for Windows style line breaks. (@s-ludwig)

- Fixed: Fixed running unittests via DUB. (Part of #29) (@s-ludwig)

- Fixed: Trailing line comments incorrectly treated as line continuation instead of newline (Related: #20, plus libsdl-d's e565f30 and c6dc722) (@Dicebot)

Haven't looked at this at all really, just a quick question:

Are there straightforward library calls or command line utilities for converting between the shared subset of json and SDL?

No, but there definitely should be. I'll post a ticket so I don't forget.

Without having looked at the library, perhaps this util would make some good sample code.
