Might make sense to choose another name, there already is another project called ziggy:

Ziggy: a JSON / YAML / TOML replacement

I started working on this project because I need a frontmatter data format for Zine, my static site generator, but I’m trying to make it a general purpose data format that should be an improvement over JSON & co for most similar use cases. Key features: distinction between structs vs maps unions of structs, so that you don’t have to rely on shape matching I have already created a tree sitter grammar, an LSP and a bunch of parsers for it. There’s one last feature (custom string literals) tha…
