.godot as configuration file format?

[naxmefy]

I am currently looking for a simple format for the configuration file and checking the project.godot file.

After some search through the internet about the format, how it is getting serialized etc. I found this comment from @reduz and looked into INI Format etc. (Comment here: godotengine/godot#10069 (comment))

I have created a simple example and will look into this case in my next session.

The example was linted with https://tools.rlugt.com/inivalidator/

[package]
title="My awesome package"
version="1.0.0"

[editor]
version=4.2.1

[assets]

[dev_assets]
custom_dev_asset={ version="3.4.2", registry="my-custom-asset-registry" }
other_dev_asset={ version="optional-git-ref", git="https://github.com/other/dev_asset.git" }

; alternative asset definition
[dev_assets.custom_dev_asset]
version="3.4.2"
registry="my-custom-asset-registry"

[dev_assets.other_dev_asset]
version="optional-git-ref"
git="https://github.com/other/dev_asset.git"

Last thoughts/ideas

• maybe I should rephrase assets here to dependencies
• If registries are supported then I need a second configuration to provide credentials for these registries....I guess
• a deployment / build configuration for the package (on type asset or dev_asset) is required
