# mvsyntax
## 🚀 Welcome to the MVSyntax Repository
This repository is a collection of miscellaneous multivalue database system syntaxes and grammars. It aims to provide resources to work with various development tools effectively.
It is a work in progress. if you feel something is missing or incorrect please [get involved](#get_involved).
## Topics Covered
The repository covers a range of topics related to multivalue database syntaxes and grammars. Some of the key topics included are:
- Beyond-Compare
- Linguist
- Rocket Software
- UniVerse
- UniData
- jBase
- D3
- Visual Studio Code
See the Rocket Software website for more information on UniVerse, UniData, jBase, D3, mvBase, OpenQM and multivalue in general here

## Beyond Compare
[Beyond Compare](https://www.scootersoftware.com/) is a commercial utility for comparing, diffing, merging, and synchronizing files and folders. It supports various environments, file types, syntax highlighting, filters, and scripting.
The BCFileFormats.xml file may be imported into Beyond Compare to provide syntax highlighting and comparison rules for mvBasic and mv data.
## Linguist
The Linguist library is used on GitHub.com to detect blob languages, ignore binary or vendored files, suppress generated files in diffs, and generate language breakdown graphs.
When committing any mvBasic to GitHub, Use `* linguist-language=mvBasic` in your `.gitattributes` file to explicitly indicate the language is mvBasic.
As most mvBasic files don't have any specific identifier, such as a well-known filename extension or header _shebang_ line [although the _SUBROUTINE/PROGRAM_ keywords may be taken into consideration??], using this enables Linguist to identify the language type.
By specifying the associated file types in the `.gitattributes` file, Linguist will use that to explicitly identify miscellaneous files.
For example, if you have both Python and mvBasic files in your main branch, you can identify Python code by its extension and everything else as mvBasic:
> `# Example of a '.gitattributes' file which classifies '.py' files as Python and everything else as mvBasic:`
> `*.py linguist-language=python`
> `* linguist-language=mvbasic`
If Linguist doesn't have anything else to go by it will use heuristics and naïve Bayesian classification to attempt to identify the file type.
## Rocket Software
## Visual Studio Code
[VS Code](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/#vscode-section) is a free standalone source code editor that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The top pick for mvBasic developers, with extensions to support most programming languages and a vast range of utility extensions.
This opens mv programming to the world of modern programming editing tools and utilities including AI assistants that work with MV environments.
Recommended extensions include:
* [mv Basic](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MVExtensions.mvbasic) - mvBasic programming syntax and utilities.
* [Pickdate!](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stuboydl.vscode-pickdate) - _Pick_ internal date & time.
* [Better align](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Chouzz.vscode-better-align) - select and align code.
* [Remote - SSH](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh) extension for accessing your code base through SSH.
* [Github Copilot](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot) - AI assistant.
