Canfig: Strongly Validated Configuration Language

read paper

WARNING: This version supports UNIX-based systems only. Windows users should use WSL.

Canfig is a robust configuration language designed for developers who need precise control and validation of their application settings. The language supports a structured approach to defining, compiling, and deploying configuration settings, making it ideal for both development and production environments.

Test

Step 1: Create Canfig Definition File (.cand)

Start by defining your configuration schema in a .cand file. For the syntax and rules, refer to the Grammar Documentation. Additionally, enhance your development experience with our simple syntax highlighter plugin for VSCode, available here: canfig-0.0.1.vsix

Step 2: Compile the Definition

Pre-request: Unix-like System, OCaml, Make, Python3

Compile your .cand file into a .candy executable configuration using our Python-based compiler:

python3 compiler.py sample/sample.cand

Step 3: Evaluate the Candy

there is a comprehensive test case inside the evaluator, so, to evaluate/test, just run:

python3 canfig.py sample/sample.candy
