JavaScript Implementation: AiSON

AiSON (AiScript Object Notation) is a data interchange syntax based on AiScript's metadata syntax.

Only pure literals are allowed as elements. Including functions or any other type of dynamic expression will result in a syntax error.

It's designed to be a more delightful to write compared to JSON. For example, object keys don't require " (double quotes), and trailing commas , are permitted. This makes writing simple data structures easier.

More strictly:

• Only one top-level object is permitted.
• Dynamic expressions, such as functions or dynamic bindings for object values, are not allowed.
• Namespaces and metadata are not supported.

{
    name: "example"
    version: 42
    keywords: ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
    // A trailing comma is allowed on the last item
}

JavaScript API

The @syuilo/aiscript package includes a built-in function for parsing AiSON. You can use AiSON.parse to convert an AiSON string directly into a JavaScript value.

TIP

Currently, only parsing from AiSON to JavaScript is supported. A function to serialize a JavaScript object into an AiSON string (AiSON.stringify) has not yet been implemented.

import { AiSON } from '@syuilo/aiscript';

const data = AiSON.parse('{ key: "value" }');
