GnuCash VS ledger

Check out https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash

Note the full API may be accessible via a cli interface.

The above work will be merged hopefully soon.

For the first repository, gnucash, it appears to be a C++ application. The common convention for a C++ app is to have the "main()" function inside a source file with the same name as the library, e.g. "gnucash.cpp". And sure enough, here it is. If I didn't think to guess that it was in that file, I could always just download the repository and do a CTRL-F for "main(". That would lead me to it immediately.

I also use GnuCash as accounting package (since 2008) for my business and it's great. Never had any issue with it.

I thought this was about https://github.com/ledger/ledger and was so confused why they'd be on NPM.

Pretty shitty of them to pick the name LedgerHQ after Ledger has already been used for years.

as far as the ledger-cli google groups [1] go, they seem to think it is a proper journal file. It has been fairly tested with OFX imports (https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/OFX-Import) as well bank autosync (https://github.com/egh/ledger-autosync).

In fact, someone also wrote a book on this - https://leanpub.com/personal-accounting-in-ledger/

I will defer if you are indeed building your own competing tool in this space which is better, but holding to the original point of my request - maybe it will be incremental to support your format if ledger-cli format is supported today. versus not supporting any disk format (or inventing a new one).

The best I found is a file from 13 years ago here https://github.com/ledger/ledger/blob/master/doc/grammar.y

You're looking for /r/ledgerwallet. This subreddit is about accounting, e.g. ledger for the command line.
