USF-File format – parser for Java

USF is a JSON-like file format allowing to store basic data types in Lists, Pairs and multiple nesting of these.

See the Wiki for examples and JavaDoc for documentation.

Data-Types

All USF-Data-Types are subclasses of the main USF-Data-Type called Atom.

• Basic Data Types
  • String
  • Boolean
  • Integer
  • Real
    • a double data type
• Structures
  • List
    • combining multiple Atoms
  • Pair
    • combining two Atoms
• Higher Level Types
  • MapList
    • combining multiple Key-Value pairs

USF Format

The normal USF Format is a one-line string, which contains all the data.

[true,[false,100,20,-12,{\"test\":{\"a\":false}},{{:}:{[true,true]:-12}}],=1.0=,=-11.02=]

For debugging and other cases one can use the human friendly output. (Method toHumFrieUSF() instead of toUSF() and parseHumFrie() instead of parse())

[
	true,
	[
		false,
		100,
		20,
		-12,
		{
			"test"
		:
			{
				"a"
			:
				false
			}
		},
		{
			{:}
		:
			{
				[
					true,
					true
				]
			:
				-12
			}
		}
	],
	=1.0=,
	=-11.02=
]
