Sleepy Script is a simple scripting system meant to be used when building lists of actions with parameters and a single shared state. Each entry is a single line and easy to parse and validate. It is untyped, but supports valid JSON types. It does not support basic language features like functions, branches, or loops.
- SleepyJs
- Example Implementations:
- Simple to implement parser and execute scripts.
- Guarantee that script will exit.
- There are no functions, classes, loops, or branches.
- It supports '\n' and '\r\n' newlines.
# Single full line comments are supported.
# The first string in a bracket set is the command name.
# Here 'print' would be supplied by the caller.
[ "print", "Hello World!" ]
# Commands starting with '$' are set commands.
# The next line sets 'John Doe' with the key 'name' in the global state.
[ "$name", "John Doe" ]
# Commands starting with '@' are language commands.
# This is a noop.
[ "@noop" ]
# Empty lines and empty bracket sets are noops.
[]
# Tabs and spaces are ignored outside of strings.
[ ]
# Trailing commas are allowed.
[ "$counter", 1 ],
# Values may be any valid JSON type, without newlines.
[ "print", { "this-is-an-object": true } ]- PHP, Ruby and Python syntax highlighting work reasonably well on Sleepy Script.
