New in v0.10.0:
Big convenience enhancements to DOM interface and an improved pull 
parser interface. Plus documentation improvements and a couple bugfixes.

Full changelog:
https://github.com/Abscissa/SDLang-D/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

===================================================

SDLang-D is a D library to read and write SDLang. Both a DOM and a Pull 
Parser are provided.

SDLang <http://sdlang.org> is similar to XML/JSON/YAML, but much simpler 
and less verbose. It look like this:

-----------------------------
// A few basic values
first "Joe"
last "Coder"
ip "127.0.0.1" port=80

// Supports child tags
folder "myFiles" color="yellow" protection=on {
     folder "my documents" {
         document "resume.pdf"
     }
}
-----------------------------

Example of using some of the new API features:

---------------------------------------------
import sdlang;

Tag root = parseFile("the-above.sdl");

string first = root.expectTagValue!string("first"); // Required
string last  = root.getTagValue!string("last");     // Optional

// Custom default values (if omitted, default value is T.init):
string ip = root.getTagValue!string("ip", "192.168.1.1");
int port = root.getTagAttribute!int("ip", "port", 8080);

Tag folder = root.expectTag("folder");
string folderName = folder.expectValue!string();
assert(folderName == "myFiles");
bool folderProtection = folder.getAttribute!bool("protection");

string subfolderName = folder.getTagValue!string("folder");
assert(subfolderName == "my documents");

I was actually thinking of using SDL for pseudo code 
non-programmers could write, e.g. to create rule files that a 
program could execute. It could work nicely with `if` and `else` 
tags + attributes.

A simple programming language that's SDLang-compliant would definitely 
be interesting!

I think SDLang is underrated and I hope it will find more 
adopters in the future. JSON is useful and used all over the 
place. But it has shortcomings that are probably due to the fact 
that it was never meant to be used as widely as it is today (i.e. 
outside JS). The lack of comments is a big minus.
