Consider using .toml files instead of .md files #30
Comments
Having frontmatter in markdown files is a common thing and there's really not that much parsing to it. The idea with this was that some features could include an extended description after this frontmatter. However, I haven't actually gotten around to implementing this and I don't see myself doing it in the near future. I guess it would only apply to some features anyways, so if you want to send a PR switching it back to TOML (if there's ever an extended description, it could also be a multiline string in TOML), I'm okay with merging that. |
a407f82 split features.toml into many .md files with TOML frontmatters. This commit converts all .md files in the data/ directory to .toml files so that they can be more easily processed by other software. Closes jplatte#30.

features.toml
into many small files ... which of course makes sense maintenance-wise. The data is now however stored in.md
files with a TOML frontmatter likethis makes the data harder to work with. If you want to use the data for any other purpose you need to write your own parser for this non-standardized format. It also makes contributing a bit harder ... because it's not immediately clear what format these files have.
.toml
files are well understood by Rust programmers so I think they really are the natural choice.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
