config

A very important part of Vide is to make sure that you or your team using Vide doesn't have to spend years in the config. So Vide uses a very easy to read syntax for the config (it is almost a mix between Yaml and Json). Incase you want to stick with normal Json you can.

Non-standard Library

The non-standard library is a custom syntax used for writing videfile's. It is similar to Json but without the colons and commas.

The syntax pattern is as follows:

keyword value
or
keyword {
    value
}

To import the non-standard library use:

use non-standard

This line will tell the compiler that it should use the the non standard compiler and not parse Json.
