Currently this doesn't compile on 1.0.0-beta because rust-peg uses features that are not available in the beta channel. I am looking into several options, including switching to nom. In the meantime, just stick to rust nightly and you should be good.

A soon-to-be Rust library to read and parse configuration files.

The idea is to make it very similar to libconfig, with a few extra additions / tweaks.

This is still under heavy development and should be considered unstable. I will publish a first version on crates as soon as the public API is designed and mostly implemented.

• Allow single and multi-line comments in configurations
• Add #include support to include other configuration files
• Automatically concatenate blank-separated string literals in the configuration. Useful for settings with big strings
• Export a public API to manipulate a configuration in runtime and possibly write it to a file

• Figure out why the parser returns an error on a blanks-only configuration
• Consider splitting the parser into lexer + syntax analyser (much like we would in C with flex + byacc), OR
• Use nom to generate the parser instead of rust-peg. Rust-peg uses features that will not be available in beta.

• Refactor misc types (Setting, SettingsList, etc) into a separate, independent module
• Write tests that are expected to fail
• Add missing documentation for undocumented code
• Document parser::ParseErr
• Write misc documentation with a high level description of the module and its features
• Write integration tests
• Document when, why and how parse() returns Err
• hex and hex64 literals support?
• Add option to indicate the conf. file encoding
• Enforce the rules for arrays. Arrays are homogeneous and can only hold scalar values
