Add human-readable format (serialization only) #42
Conversation
|
I realized that there are some limitations to the current implementaion. A Seperate sub-command to only convert the format (toml, json, yaml) to text would be better... I will modify the code as well as the README very soon. |

That's a great idea! Thanks for the PR, I'd very much like to get this in. |

Hi, i modifed the code slightly now it works as intented. I also formatted the files to the linter won't cry at me :) |

question: would you be opposed to adding HumanReadable as a format::Format?
And then we could avoid a special-case flag and handling for just outputing a text file.
Alternatively, I think adding a subcommand for this, or calling this flag convert_to_human_readable_only or something like that to make it clear what this is doing.

suggestion: would `write!(&mut output, "{}", self)?; work here? That may avoid creating the intermediate string.

question: is this used somewhere else? If not can it be removed?
| Currently the supported formats are `json`, `yaml`, and `toml`. A more human readable format that is closer to a classical THIRDPARTY file and already has `serde` support is being actively sought. Please create an issue or PR if you have an idea for this. | ||
