Dogma: a metalanguage for describing data formats in documentation

Hacker News

Dogma: A human-friendly metalanguage for describing data formats (text or binary) in documentation. Dogma was born out of frustration trying to describe data formats (in particular, binary) using existing BNF and other metalanguages. What I wanted was something that makes it clear to a HUMAN reader how a data format is structured and interpreted. After lots of input from friends and colleagues (as well as testing it out writing numerous examples of existing formats https://github.com/kstenerud/dogma/tree/master/v1/examples ), I feel that it's almost ready for a 1.0 release, but I'd like to get some last minute critiques just to make sure :) It's not going to solve 100% of use cases, but if it can solve 80-90%, it has met its goal. Please have a look and let me know what you think! https://github.com/kstenerud/dogma/blob/master/v1/dogma_v1.m...
