Welcome to the The Toolsmiths' ddl wiki!

Overview

This project aims at creating a standardized DDL (Data Definition Language) file format and related library and tools ecosystem. The file format will serve as a foundational tool for gamedev content pipelines, and other related areas with similar scopes of data variation and amounts.

Goals

1. Be an open community built effort: The project aims to be open at any dev or company looking to contribute to the project. It will also aims at producing software with the least barriers to its adoption by any project.
2. Be simple, yet flexible enough to be production ready: The end product of this project, both the standard, as its libraries, will have to be as simple as possible so they don’t impact negatively any project they’re used in, yet flexible enough to be a positive addition to any project.
3. Enable adoption by providing libraries and tools: The project aims at producing a collection of libraries for parsing and working with the data defined in the files.
