SDLang-D is D library to read/write SDL (Simple Declarative Language). SDL is a data language like JSON or XML, except it's less verbose and type-aware. Here's an example of SDL:

    // Websites
    SDLang-D "https://github.com/Abscissa/SDLang-D"
    Original_SDL "http://sdl.ikayzo.org/display/SDL/Language+Guide"

Changes in this version:

- Can now output SDL. (Via 'toSDLString()' funcs.)
- Properly handle non-Unix newlines.
- Allow '\r' escape sequences.
- Make DUB package <https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub>
- Fixed Windows buildscript.
- Fixed build-docs script so API reference properly excludes private
  modules.
- Rename 'build-unittests' -> 'build-unittest' (for consistency with
  'bin/sdlang-unittest').

Now this is very good.  I so badly have wanted the simple data rep that lisp has builtin and this is almost it.  XML, in my opinion, is ugly and overly verbose.  JASON was better.  SDL looks to be just about right.

As I understand, SDL doesn't support allman style of curly braces?

Correct. This is because tags in SDL are newline-terminated.

(It would be possible to allow it as a special-case, but I want to stay compatible SDL's official spec and reference implementation, which doesn't do that.)

You can, however, simulate it with the line-continuation operator:

mytag \
{
    subtag
    subtag
}

But unlike JavaScript (or early versions of Go, IIRC), if you
do use allman-style by mistake, you're guaranteed to get an error
instead of incorrect behavior:

mytag
{
    subtag
    subtag
}

SDLangException:
file.sdl(2:1): Error: Anonymous tags must have at least one value.

Come to think of it, I could probably customize the error message for that particular situation to say something more appropriate like "Opening curly braces cannot be on a separate new line".
