Feature Overview

This is a script that parses String data and converts it into a hash table. (Not compatible with JSON)

• A single string can initialize many values.
• Returns at least an empty table.
• Elements can be added space-separated. (the space character cannot be used as a value.)
• {} specifies a table.
• key=val; key{val} specifies the key and value of the table.
• Newline codes are ignored.
• Bool values, Nil, and Hexadecimal strings are automatically normalized.
• The first level can be initialized with global values by using cat() in _env. CAT(_env,HTBL[[VALUES]]) --init with 5tokens
• Double quotation marks are not used (they tend to be fewer characters than JSON).
• Not compatible with JSON.
• HTBL() uses 150 Token.

"k{v1 v2 ...}" is table. serve just Immediately before hashkey.
"k=v;" is key and value.
See code in cart for examples of format usage.

The parser normalizes individual values using TONORM() in the following order of precedence.

• Number(hexadecimal)
• String
• Bool
• Nil

may want to Use DMP() if check the converted table.

This function is included in the KNUTIL library.

wow.

May I publish some or all of your code, or derivatives, in https://github.com/sparr/pico8lib ?

@sparr
Yes. Please use it!
It is frequently used in games that I develop.

I updated with less code.

• code update saved token:
  • htbl 7 tokens
  • tonorm 9 tokens

I updated to HTBL() ver 0.4!!

v0.4

• Cut token costs (-12 tokens)
• Tonorm() is now built-in. the second return value of the final result is now nil.(be careful when doing add())
• Document inserted.
