An NBT library written in Nim to parse NBT data, using https://wiki.vg/NBT to help me implement it!

Usage

Probably better off looking at the docs and tests, but here:

let data = readFile("my.nbt").parseNbt()

echo data["rootTag"]["name"].getString()
data["rootTag"]["name"] = newTagString("new name")

writeFile("my.modified.nbt")

To-Do

• Write to and from macros for types.
  • I'd say the main issue with this is the fact that it'd be a lossy conversion (since the type of list may be lost), but it shouldn't be an actual issue.
• More comprehensive tests including Bedrock NBT.

Credits

Thanks to Yardanico for making NimNBT which was a massive help for this project, since this was my first time making any sort of parser!

Thanks to wiki.vg for the specification which gave examples and up-to-date info about the formats!
