hjson-js VS zdpack

By the way.. if you use the hjson parser you can add comments to json files :) https://hjson.github.io/

I wish this took off https://hjson.github.io. I like it much more than yaml.

I don't know anything about VueJS either but HJSON is pretty cool in that regard https://hjson.github.io/

> Another difficult problem was checking for correct indentation visually (because the configuration is YAML-based and indentation matters).

why yaml? I hate it so much! my eyes hurt looking at it?

why not using https://hjson.github.io/ ?

HJSON [0] is also another format that tries to make it easier for humans to read / write json.

well there are json alternatives which fit this bill, such as HJSON.

might not be as "common" but it has good implementations for many languages.

zdpack also pre-processes datapacks, allowing json files to be written in hjson or yaml, in addition to allowing a special extensible super-set of MCFunction I call CommandScript. You can check the github page for a quick overview of CommandScript.

zdpack, on the other hand, is a new tool that supersedes mdrpmc in many ways, while still being able to do everything mdrpmc could do already. It properly merges tags together in most cases, allows you to add "include" folders that merge on top of the final datapack output (so you could include a folder with a icon.png file inside to give the datapack an icon), and also allows datapack creators to make a simple node project that generates a datapack from a single javascript file, which could even be exported as a mod.

I recently spend the past month creating a very powerful JavaScript powered tool called zdpack, which can merge datapacks and resource packs together (it properly merges tags too, so the minecraft:tick and minecraft:load tags don't cause the datapacks to conflict with each other), as well as convert them into a mod.
