= Simple Data Language =

Created for !HiveMind (as a reponse to the NotXMLProposal). '''SDL''' has the elements, attributes, and nesting present in XML, but is geared towards configuration. 

See the [http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/sdl.html reference documentation] to learn more and see examples. The syntax is heavily streamlined to meet the needs of providing configuration data to applications, and since configuration data is ''so'' vital to !HiveMind, it makes sense to address that area directly. Having reworked a lot of !HiveMind  descriptors (including the master descriptors and many unit tests) from XML to SDL I know I can't go back!

The parser (buiilt on ["JavaCC"]), takes the place of a SAX event-driven parser (it emits the same events).
