JSON Configuration File is a plugin for Godot that aims to aid reading user input via a JSON file. Using a JSON file as a way to configure your Godot application would allow your users to share configuration files. Minecraft is a remarkable example that uses JSON files to configure certain aspects of the game, such as block models.
The definition of JSON Schemas inspired this plugin. However, instead of using a JSON file to define the structure of a JSON, it takes a coding approach. This approach has the advantage of allowing more features.
When using this plugin, you would be able to set up a configuration file with code like this:
This code would verify that this JSON file is valid:
And it would also detect multiple errors in this JSON file with a single validation process:
Please, check the documentation to learn how to set up your own JSON configuration file.
This plugin would offer you:
- Twelve different types of properties:
- Booleans
- Real numbers
- Integers
- Percentages
- Strings
- Enums
- Arrays
- Colors
- Objects
- Files
- JSON Configuration Files
- Images
- The ability to detect multiple errors and warnings with a single call to the validation process.
- A representation of the errors and warnings with dictionaries to allow customization of the messages.
- The execution of code during the validation process to transform the data or to create custom tests.
If you want to contribute with a new kind of property or a new feature, please consider also contributing to the documentation or adding new tests to the repository of tests for this plugin.
