    I really like the Gura format (https://github.com/gura-conf/gura). Seems to combine the best of yaml, json, and toml for the use case of human created configuration files.

    If we're on the topic of config languages, I'd like to plug Gura (https://github.com/gura-conf/gura). It's not too well-known, but it probably has the best design I've seen, and seems to have a good coverage of languages with an available library.
  • Announcing Serde Gura 0.1
    2 projects | /r/rust | 1 Sep 2021
    The first version of Serde Gura is now available! Gura is a simple and readable configuration language that will be familiar to any YAML and TOML user. Its essence lies in simplicity and was introduced in detail in this post on this subreddit.
  • My first crate: a parser for the new config lang Gura
    3 projects | /r/rust | 26 Jul 2021
    Hi! I've just published a Gura parser written in pure Rust. (Repository link below!) Gura aims to offer a much simpler and more readable alternative to TOML and YAML. If you are familiar with the latter language, learning Gura is easy and intuitive.
  • Introducing Gura. A new configuration language readable as YAML, simple as TOML
    2 projects | /r/programming | 4 May 2021
    Cool! There was a mistake and a very important section in README was deleted. We have added a Rationale section where we compare Gura with other languages, as explained there, Gura is not aimed to replace JSON as it's the faster configuration file in the world! But maybe can be able to take advantage of Gura's other benefits :D
  • A Gura parser written in Python

    Gura is a new configuration language readable as YAML, simple as TOML that supports variables, importing, and has standardized errors (official site | official repo).

  • Use TOML for `.env` Files?
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Feb 2023
    My major pain point was that I had big JSON files inside my .env files. We use Cloud Foundry at work and it uses plenty of these for configuration.

    I wrote a small Rust tool called ‘json_env’[0] to read JSON files and supply them as ENV vars to a program. I’m working on it in my free time and eventually want to also replace direnv with it. TOML and YAML support is also planned.

    I just published my `json_env` crate to homebrew. It's a small CLI app which allows you to start other apps with env variables defined in an `.env.json` file.
