This library reads and writes structured, hierarchical, textual data and contains utilities to convert them to POJOs and back.
This project was designed to replace DL. Unlike DL, ArcheText maintains definition hierarchy and supports value expressions.
JSON and XML are okay for laying out hierarchical data, but not when that data can be similar to other data or if that data is redundant. ArcheText seeks to eliminate this, as well as providing a means to de-serialize that data into Java Objects.
Contained in this release is a series of libraries that allow reading, writing, and extracting data in ArcheText Objects, found in the com.blackrook.archetext package.
The ArcheTextObject class is used for the manipulation of the data once it has been read into Java via ArcheTextReader.
