Hi I'm a newbie with big ambitions! (Sorry, got spoiled by C#)Anyhow I'm toying with a D learning project and there are 2 .NET feature that will be welcome in this D project: 1. internationalization. the app will contains a bunch of simple UIs and I was wondering how I would go on internationalizing the application. I.e. embed multiple "resource" for different languages in the EXE and show the appropriate ones for the target / running computer 2. I'd like a part of my library (in progress) to read / write some arbitrary settings. I was thing to use something akin to the DataContractSerialization we have in .NET where I could define a few classes with attribute [DataContract] class Root { [DataMember] public int Prop1 { get; set; } [DataMember] public B PropB { get; set; } } [DataContract] class B { [DataMember] public string Name { get; set; } } a reader / writer class can turn this class (using the atributes) into text (XML, JSON, I don't care) and back from text into object instance How would I implement something similar in D? Is there already a library doing it?
For the serialization you could have a look at Orange: http://www.dsource.org/projects/orange Don't know if it works with the latest compilers, it's been a while since I updated the code. I'm also in the middle of complete rewrite of the library. At lease you can perhaps find some ideas.
