🔠 CST.NET

CST.NET is a library for parsing Maxis' key-value pair format. It can be used in conjunction with your own custom frameworks, or the original UIText APIs.

Caret-Separated Text (or CST) is a key-value pair format represented by digits or words as keys and the value as text enclosed between carets. (e.g. <key> ^<text>^) Any text which is not enclosed with carets is considered a comment and ignored. Neither strings nor comments may use the caret character.

📓 Project Notes

  • This all began as a "what if?" What if I could make my own? So, I did. First from a Jupyter notebook and then a full-fledged project that technically has a support cycle.
  • While this project is technically feature complete, it is not a full drop-in replacement as it lacks variable (%[digit]) parsing.
  • I'm deprecating the .sln solution type in favour of .slnx going forward. It'll be removed sometime in the future.
