QML (Quantum Markup Language)

Draft Not implemented

Smaller and faster than JSON and HTML. QML is based on Emmet as HTML is based on XML; with improvements (such as support to datasets) and Esperanto as main language.

  • Lightweighter as possible
  • Hightly semantic
  • Context-aware

Comparison

vs. HTML

HTML:

<body id="korp"><header id="kaplok"></header><content id="enhavo"><article id="artikol" class="blog">Article`s content</article></content></body>

QML:

korp#body>kaplok.header+enhavo#content>artikol#article.blog{Article`s content}

While JSON is sometimes faster to parse than HTML, it gives more bytes to read/download. But QML language is faster than both JSON and HTML, and also uses less bytes. HTML uses 70-75 more characters than QML.

QML is also smaller as well when visualy (human-readable) structured, compared to HTML:

korp#body>
	kaplok.header+
	enhavo#content>
		artikol#article.blog{Article`s content}

<body id="korp">
	<header id="kaplok"></header>
	<content id="enhavo">
		<article id="artikol" class="blog">Article`s content
		</article>
	</content>
</body>

HTML uses 3 more lines than QML.

vs. JSON

QML as a data store:

users>
	alice>
		fulln=Alice Althea+
		addr=dataddress^
	bob>
		fulln=Bob Bulbasaur+
		addr=dataddress

Compared to JSON:

{
"users":[{
"alice":[{
"fulln":"Alice Althea",
"addr":"dataddress"
}],
"bob":[{
"fulln":"Bob Bulbasaur",
"addr":"dataddress"
}]
}]
}

Single-line JSON datastore:

{"users":[{"alice":[{"fulln":"Alice Althea","addr":"dataddress"}],"bob":[{"fulln":"Bob Bulbasaur","addr":"dataddress"}]}]}

Single-line QML datastore:

users>alice>fulln=Alice Althea+addr=dataddress^bob>fulln=Bob Bulbasaur+addr=dataddress

QML haves 5 lines & 32-41 characters less than JSON.

vs. Emmet

  • QML haves Esperanto as main language, while Emmet uses English
  • QML is also used for datastores
  • QML supports human-readable, word-wrapped identation
