What is Stof?
Stof is a new, open-source interchange format (like JSON, YAML, etc.) that bridges software applications and the data they use (regardless of format). It unifies data into a single interface that is capable of handling tasks like validation, transformation, orchestration, structuring, access control, and more. Stof simplifies data handling, ensuring safe, high-quality, and accessible data that is ready for your application and users.
Why use it?
Stof is changing the way developers and data engineers work with data. Stof documents are simple, scalable, portable, and efficient. By turning data into a sandboxed and embedded runtime, Stof is capable of performing logic and transformations anywhere you need them, saving countless hours of development and headache. Stof supports multiple data formats, including JSON, YAML, TOML, and XML. It allows developers to import, export, and interact with these formats seamlessly within a unified interface.
