>From now on, the experiments will tackle more practical issues and will add completely new features to the language. There will be less theory and more examples.
Experiment #7 - Data Formatters A conversion between different data formats is a frequent operation in many applications. Dunaj introduces the concept of data formatters that formalizes the process of converting data from one format into another. A formatter is a collective name for Dunaj’s data parser and printer. A parser converts information from its external or low level representation (used for storage or communication) into form that is of higher level of abstraction, and is better understood and supported by the application. Printer does the opposite thing. Formatters are not limited to parsing from/printing to strings, but are designed to work with any type of data, even for binary decoding/encoding. Goals of this experiment are as follows: * Provide dedicated functions for parsing and printing that integrate well with the rest of the API, including transducers * Provide protocols and helper functions for implementers of custom data formatters * Make formatters efficient by utilizing available optimizations You can read more about this experiment at http://www.dunaj.org Regards, Jozef On Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 10:33:53 PM UTC+1, Jozef Wagner wrote: > > I'm happy to announce a project called Dunaj [1], which provides an > alternative core API for Clojure.
