# v_pdml
[](https://github.com/hungrybluedev/v_pdml/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](examples)
## About
**`v_pdml`** is a custom implementation of the [PDML (Practical Data and Markup Language)][1]
documentation standard in the V programming language. Think of it as a LISP-like alternative
to Markdown which is less verbose than XML and more readable than JSON.
## Features
- Support for parsing and generating PDML files.
- Easy-to-use API for working with PDML data.
- Flyweight recursive-descent parser implementation using `io.Reader`.
Most features of the PDML standard are supported. If there are any missing features that
you would like to see, please open an issue and if possible, a pull request.
## Getting Started
### Prequisites
Ensure that you have the latest version of the V programming language installed on your system.
Refer to the installation instructions [here][2].
### Installation
To install the `v_pdml` module, run the following command:
```bash
v install --git https://github.com/hungrybluedev/v_pdml
```
### Usage
Import `pdml` if you installed from GitHub.
```v
import pdml
fn main() {
sample := '[doc
[title Hello, World!]
[author Subhomoy Haldar]
[body
[paragraph A sample paragraph for demonstration.]
[paragraph Another paragraph.]
]
]'
doc := pdml.Document.parse_string(sample)!
println(doc)
}
```
Check the **examples** directory for more examples.
