[PATCH v4 1/5] Adding an S-expression structured output printer.

Peter Feigl craven at gmx.net
Thu Dec 6 03:44:55 PST 2012


This commit adds a structured output printer for Lisp
S-Expressions. Later commits will use this printer in notmuch search,
show and reply.

The structure is the same as json, but:
- arrays are written as lists: ("foo" "bar" "baaz" 1 2 3)
- maps are written as p-lists: (:key "value" :other-key "other-value")
- true is written as t
- false is written as nil
- null is written as nil
