Tools and Libraries

Everything that helps you work with NEON: libraries that read and write it, the specification of the format, support in editors, a linter and a playground.

Libraries

• NEON for PHP, the package nette/neon
• @nette/neon for JavaScript and TypeScript
• nette-neon for Python

Specification

The format is written down in a language-neutral specification together with a conformance corpus, a set of test cases that every implementation runs, so a file reads the same in each of the libraries. If you are writing a NEON library for another language, the corpus is there for you to use.

Editors

• NetBeans (has built-in support)
• PhpStorm (plugin)
• Visual Studio Code (Nette Latte + Neon or Nette for VS Code)
• Sublime Text 3 (plugin)
• Sublime Text 2 (plugin)
• VIM (plugin)
• Emacs (plugin)
• Prism.js (integrated language)

Checking Files

The PHP library comes with the command neon-lint, which reports syntax errors in .neon files, see NEON for PHP.

Playground

You can try NEON right in your browser in the playground.
