# KDL - The KDL Document Language
|
|
|
|
[KDL](https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl) is a document language with xml-like
|
|
semantics that looks like you're invoking a bunch of CLI commands!
|
|
|
|
It's meant to be used both as a serialization format and a configuration
|
|
language, and is relatively light on syntax compared to XML.
|
|
|
|
There's a living
|
|
[specification](https://github.com/kdl-org/kdl/blob/main/SPEC.md), as well as
|
|
[various implementations](#implementations). The language is based on
|
|
[SDLang](https://sdlang.org), with a number of modifications and
|
|
clarifications on its syntax and behavior.
|
|
|
|
This repository is the official/reference implementation in Rust, and
|
|
corresponds to [the kdl crate](https://crates.io/crates/kdl)
|
|
|
|
## Design and Discussion
|
|
|
|
KDL is still extremely new, and discussion about the format should happen over
|
|
on the [spec repo's discussions
|
|
page](https://github.com/kdoclang/kdl/discussions). Feel free to jump in and
|
|
give us your 2 cents!
