Hi,

I'm looking for a library to parse configuration files. I have no
configuration format yet so I'm open. I was thinking of a typical INI
format:

[section1]
param1=value1
param2=value2

[section2]
param1=value3
...

In Gjallar we used the ini format and it often works just fine for "settings". :)

But just to throw in something from the sideline, Tirade is also quite nifty:

"Section 1"
param1: 'value1'.
param2: 123.

"Section 2"
blabla: $a.


...as you can see it is "just Smalltalk messages". One disadvantage of Tirade
would be that you need to remember the "." at the end of each message.

An advantage is that you don't need to "parse it", you just implement the messages in some class and then you can use the the reader in Tirade to just "feed" those messages to that object.
