GDML, Godot Markup Language

GDML is an XML-like markup language that can be used to describe Godot scenes in a more traditional human-readable way than .tscn files provided by the engine.

Features

This plugin aims to be a complete replacement for .tscn files allowing users to edit text representation of scenes with the same ease as they might edit HTML templates or JSX components. It features:

• Importing and exporting scenes from and into a new .gdml format.
• Built-in editor for scenes with syntax highlighting and code completion.
• Validation based on the same rules as the Scene Dock warnings.

TODO

• Implement a GDML parser/builder using GDScript for a PoC.
• Re-implement a GDML parser/builder using GDNative for performance.
• Introduce a way to view scenes as a well-formed GDML document.
• Implement exporting scenes to .gdml files.
• Implement importing scenes from .gdml files without validation.
• Implement a generalized way to validate GDML documents against available nodes.
• Implement a TextEdit based GDML editor with basic highlighting.
• Implement code completion for the GDML editor.
