kdl is a "document-oriented" parser and API. That means that, unlike serde-based implementations, it's meant to preserve formatting when editing, as well as inserting values with custom formatting. This is useful when working with human-maintained KDL files.

You can think of this crate as toml_edit, but for KDL.

Example

use kdl::KdlDocument;

let doc: KdlDocument = r#"
hello 1 2 3
world prop="value" {
    child 1
    child 2
}
"#.parse().expect("failed to parse KDL");

assert_eq!(doc.get_args("hello"), vec![&1.into(), &2.into(), &3.into()]);
assert_eq!(doc.get("world").map(|node| &node["prop"]), Some(&"value".into()));
