v4.0

The base structure has been reworked once again by removing the intermediate format and outputting directly as json. While this makes interop with the format impossible, it increases parsing throughput by ~10x. Also unused dataset items will be skipped instead of fully parsed if possible.

This comes with the downside that duplicate keys might be in the output. If any problems arise of this, do open an issue.

v3.1

What's Changed

• Fix bug when no id was passed as an argument

v3.0: New direction

This release completely removes the querying functionality of the program and only converts the output to json.
This is a deliberate choice, as filtering and parsing can more easily and efficiently be done by a tool like jq.

If filtering over the same set multiple times, consider writing the output to an intermediate json.

For VDFparse.Core the main change is that we expose static VDFFile.Read() as a means to implicitly parse a file.
If manual parsing is required, consider extending VDFFile.Readers or manualy calling the parser functions of IVDFFileReader or KVParser.

For VDFparse.Cli we use CommandLineParser to generate a simpler to use cli interface. use vdfparse --help to get more info.
