Note 2: I intend to migrate the dmd.conf file format to json.
Use D instead: http://forum.dlang.org/post/vjipqkoiktkfvmnbs...@forum.dlang.org
The compiler already has everything to parse it.As a side note json contains a fork of the unicode standard: disallows BOM. If you're looking for an invention, that would be json (worse, it's subtly incompatible).
