Easy to read and type text format for serialization and config files. This is Nim implementation. You can read about PODS here: https://github.com/PixeyeHQ/pods

I encourage you to look in the example folder to find some examples of how to work with PODS in nim. Use pods object hook to get API commands. pods is used as API hook. Use PxPods to get access to module types. (Not strictly necessary, but I like using namespaces :))

type Vector3 = object
  x: int
  y: int
  z: int

let path = os.getAppDir()
let sparsePath = &"{path}/sparse.pods" # your file name
var position = Vector3(x:10,y:10,z:1)
var pod      = pods.initPodObject()
pod["position"] = pods.toPod(position)
pods.toPodFile(sparsePath, pod, PxPods.PodStyle.Sparse)

The code may contain bugs and it lacks proper debugging and tests. It's still for personal use and may be rough on edges. If you like the concept & idea than documentation, bug reports, pull requests or any other contributions are strongly welcome!
