Making data notation extending another language
-
Well, pointing XML/JSON was off topic as well.
-
I want to create data notation (like JSON is used). 1) Is it good enough to use languages built-in features (types, notation etc), extend it (e.g. with another types), and output some JSON? 2) Or should I build it from scratch and parse all built-in features and add my additions then output it into JSON? By using 1) I don't have to implement core things. If there are fixes - then it's good. If there are changes that I don't like I can deal with them from case to case... I guess. Howerer I'm tied to a programming language - so users had to use the programming language (instead library). By using 2) I have to build everything but I'm not tied to one particular language. Maybe I can mix it ( 1) for the language, 2) for other languages). What are your toughts on this topic. ps. I was thinking about using the Red ( red-lang.org/ ). It's in alpha but I don't think it will change a lot.
Are you looking for something like protobuf?

So your mention of JSON in your original question was off topic?
I don't want to waste time on your trolling.

How extensible are they? As far I can see they are at a "structure level" (I'm not sure if there is proper term for it; by "structure level" I mean extending some language with structures like in C in place of a type (joining few types together), for example (pseudocode): `qux: struct {foo: string, baz: integer}; qux new-variable = struct {foo: "***", baz: 42}`) or are they extensible at deeper level (parsing types, e.g. `new-type: <"-">; new-type new-variable = 2-3)?

You having trouble extending a text-format? Whatever uni you represent, I'll come take a piss on them. I'll even pay for it myself.
