Kuddle.Net

Kuddle.Net is a .NET implementation of a KDL parser/serializer targeting v2 of the spec. KDL is concise, human-readable language built for configuration and data exchange. Head to https://kdl.dev for more specifics on the KDL document language itself.

Installation

dotnet add package Kuddle.Net

Usage

There are a few ways of using the library, the lower level KdlReader and KdlWriter classes, and the utility KdlSerializer class. For most use cases KdlSerializer.Serialize<T>/KdlSerializer.Deserialize<T> will be sufficient.

var dbKdl = """
database main port=5432
""";

var dbConfig = KdlSerializer.Deserialize<DbConfig>(dbKdl);

KDL differs from other configuration languages like yaml or toml in that it is node-based. The top-level document can consist of a collection of nodes, not args (e.g. #true, #false, 0xAF) or properties (key=#false). To adhere to this, the serialization API depends on the use of several provided attributes to facilitate mapping KDL constructs to user defined types:
