Help for zon

Help

Currently I’m using yaml in Python (with ruamel.yaml) but I want to try using zig. The two choices are zon and ziggy.

Here is an example file: workout file · GitHub

The problem I’m having with zon is how to describe a list of steps.

Thanks.

You can describe a list of steps in Zon as a tuple: .{.{.name = "warm-up", ...}, .{.name = "fast-pedaling", ...}, ...}

Realistically, zon is fairly limited and you may end up writing a lot of boilerplate, you’ll probably want ziggy or a parser for your favorite serialization format.

Thanks. As I suspected it was a trivial problem, I forgot to add a second curly brace.

Thanks also for converting the yaml file to zon.
I decided to use _ instead of -.

A feature I would like is to add indentation to the multiline string literals; it should increase the readability but i’m not sure if may cause problems.
