[PD-dev] [ pure-data-Feature Requests-3531000 ] Proposal for an alternative file format

[s p]

So, ... moving the discussion here from sourceforge's tracker :

> @Sébastien will you write a .json -> .pd converter too?

Rich, notice the double arrow ".json <-> .pd" ;)

> the proposal is for a new, easier to read / parse, format for existing
patches. This facilities writing/reading patches in other languages (such
as javascript, C / C++ / Obj-C / Java, etc.), since you wouldn't need to
write the text file in a cryptic form.

Yes, exactly ... well said !

Like Rich said also, it would be good to have input from some pd veterans.
For one thing, just to get feedback and comments, but also to know if it
has any chances to be implemented one day in pure data. Indeed, right now
the file format is THE bridge between pd, libpd, webpd and others ... so if
some of the libraries implement this format and not others, it might end up
just putting mess and fragmenting the pd world. So ... waiting an answer
from pd-devs on whether or not this might be implemented :) ! And what
about libpd devs ?
