Package Exports

xdg-parse

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (xdg-parse) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

node-xdg-parse

XDG configuration files syntax parser

Usage :

var {parse} = require("xdg-parse");
fs.readFile("your_conf_file",function(err,data){
  if(err){
    //Do something
  }
  var conf = parse(data);
})

Localized entries

Freedesktop offers the possibility to localize comments, names, etc... like :

[Section]
Name=app name
Name[fr]= nom du programme

By giving xdg-parse an extra locale argument, one can retrieve those lines instead of the default when available.

parse(data,"fr"); //locale is case insensitive

Serialization

data can be serialized back to a text file. However it is not compliant with the specification as the serialized file is stripped of its comments and blank lines.

Improvements

Array are not parsed. That's because I could not find strong evidence under which circumstances a comma / semicolon separated list of values should be considered an array. It seems to be up to the implementor to choose which keys are to be a list and which are to be plain text.

Contributing

feel free to provide any test material that might prove this parser faulty.
