SDLang-D is an SDL (Simple Declarative Language) library for D.

SDLang-D:
https://github.com/Abscissa/SDLang-D

Original SDL: http://sdl.ikayzo.org/display/SDL/Language+Guide

SDL is similar to JSON or XML, except it's:
* Less verbose
* Type-aware

This is what SDL looks like (some of these examples, and more, are from
the SDL site):

    first "Joe"
    last "Coder"

    numbers 12 53 2 635
    names "Sally" "Frank N. Stein"
    pets chihuahua="small" dalmation="hyper" mastiff="big"

    mixed 34.7f "Tim" somedate=2010/08/14

    myNamespace:person name="Joe Coder" {
        age 36
    }

Differences from original Java implementation:

* API is completely redesigned for D.

* License is zlib/libpng, not LGPL. (No source from the Java or
  Ruby implementations was used or looked at.)

* Anonymous tags are named "" (ie, empty string) not "content". Not
  sure yet whether or not this will change in the future.

* Dates with unknown or invalid time zones use a special type
  indicating "unknown time zone" (DateTimeFracUnknownZone) instead of
  assuming GMT.

Still TODO (in no order):

* Major improvements to API for Tags.

* Ability to write SDL output, not just read it.

* Make sure that all forms of newlines are handled correctly.
  (Unix-style '\n' definitely works right. Not certian about Win-style
  '\r\n', Mac9-style '\r' or special Unicode newlines.)

* Make this a DUB package.

* Improve docs.

Great thing! Looking forward to the output capability. The next data DSL I'll do will definitely be in terms of SDL.

WRT DUB, this package.json should work as the bare minimum:
{
	"name": "sdlang-d",
	"sourcePaths": ["src"],
	"importPaths": ["src"]
}

The "sourcePaths" and "importPaths" will not be necessary in the future, though. They should be inferred from the directory structure for the special cases "source" and "src", but currently are only for "source".

Ah, cool. I figured it'd be something pretty simple, but it was getting late enough that even simple things were becoming difficult so I held off on that, needed sleep ;)
