JSON Configuration File

JSON Configuration File is a plugin for Godot that aims to aid reading user input via a JSON file. Using a JSON file as a way to configure your Godot application would allow your users to share configuration files. Minecraft is a remarkable example that uses JSON files to configure certain aspects of the game, such as block models.

The definition of JSON Schemas inspired this plugin. However, instead of using a JSON file to define the structure of a JSON, it takes a coding approach. This approach has the advantage of allowing more features.

Code example

When using this plugin, you would be able to set up a configuration file with code like this:

This code would verify that this JSON file is valid:

And it would also detect multiple errors in this JSON file with a single validation process:

Please, check the documentation to learn how to set up your own JSON configuration file.

• The ability to detect multiple errors and warnings with a single call to the validation process.
