Open Source Python Markup Languages

Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language. By Tom Preston-Werner, Pradyun Gedam, et al. TOML aims to be a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read due to obvious semantics. TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table. TOML should be easy to parse into data structures in a wide variety of languages. TOML shares traits with other file formats used for application configuration and data serialization, such as YAML and JSON. TOML and JSON both are simple and use ubiquitous data types, making them easy to code for or parse with machines. TOML and YAML both emphasize human readability features, like comments that make it easier to understand the purpose of a given line. TOML differs in combining these, allowing comments (unlike JSON) but preserving simplicity (unlike YAML). Because TOML is explicitly intended as a configuration file format, parsing it is easy, but it is not intended for serializing arbitrary data structures.

ESML is an interchange technology that utilizes external metadata to allow applications to plug and play seamlessly with Earth Science specific datasets in heterogeneous formats.

KML is a knowledge base with support of logical modeling. Advanced model is used to represent knowledge as a set of statements similar to natural language sentences. This project hosts a set of model storage library and server (vrb-ols) and clients.

PyML server (Python Markup Language) is a content management framework. Page contents are written in pure Python, Python objects can be created and used to render HTML for remote browsers. PyML has been developped to be very simple and easy to use.

SchemaDoc is a XML-based markup language for documenting XML schemas. The work products include both the vocabulary and a set of tools for combining it with the schema source (e.g. a DTD) to produce documentation in HTML, XML DocBook, LaTeX, etc.

YAML (tm) is a straight-forward data serilization language, offering an alternative to XML where markup (named lists and mixed content) are not needed. YAML borrows ideas from rfc822, SAX, C, HTML, Perl, and Python.

ZML, the Zeitung Markup Language, is a simple CMS for small newspapers. It was specifically designed to publish a student newspaper in print and on the Web. It uses LaTeX and XHTML. So far, it is documented in German only.
