A config format for humans

About the project

SOML is a human-friendly config format: bare keys, no commas or top-level braces, comments allowed, and a value's type determined by syntax rather than content. It positions itself as a replacement for JSON and YAML in files people write by hand.

Useful for
  • Write a service config with dates, durations, and comments without quotes or commas
  • Compare SOML parser behavior using the language-neutral conformance suite
  • Replace a YAML config where values like 'no' or '3.10' get wrongly retyped

2.9 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 21:46 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

02550October 9, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 20:42–21:38: 146 → 158 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +13 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 24 days old and already has 158 stars.
  • Hacker News: “SOML – A Config Format for Humans” — 48 points, 3 h ago.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @millette (310 followers), @cpiprint (222 followers).

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
