Mitto v2.9 is adding Hjson support for job configs. Hjson has many interesting features, but most importantly it supports commenting in JSON. This new feature will allow Mitto users to make inline comments in their job configs!
Pre Mitto v2.9, job configs are stored as JSON. When a user edits a job, they are presented with a JSON editor.
Here’s an example job config (this isn’t a real Mitto job, but it shows the JSON):
And here’s the raw JSON:
{
"key": 1,
"contains": "everything on this line",
"cool": {
"foo": 1,
"bar": 2
},
"list": [
1,
2
],
"realist": "My half empty glass,\nI will fill your empty half.\nNow you are half full."
}
In Mitto v2.9, this same job config can be JSON or Hjson.
Here’s the same example, but with all the benefits of Hjson:
And here’s the raw Hjson:
{
// use #, // or /**/ comments,
// omit quotes for keys
key: 1
// omit quotes for strings
contains: everything on this line
// omit commas at the end of a line
cool: {
foo: 1
bar: 2
}
// allow trailing commas
list: [
1,
2,
]
// and use multiline strings
realist:
'''
My half empty glass,
I will fill your empty half.
Now you are half full.
'''
}
