SEIN Language Support

Provides rich syntax highlighting and language support for SEIN configuration files (.sein) in Visual Studio Code.

Features

  • Sections and inheritance - [Section] and [Child : Parent] / [Child : [Parent]]
  • Keys with subkeys - window[size] = 1920x1080, player[name] = "Alex"
  • Powerful value types:
  • Strings (with or without quotes)
  • Integers and floating-point numbers
  • Booleans (true, false, yes, no, 1, 0)

Advanced string features:

  • Raw multiline strings: "R( ... )R"
  • Multiline continuation with \

Variables and substitutions:

  • @set VAR = value
  • ${VAR}, ${section.key}, ${SYSENV:HOME}

Directives:

  • @include "other.sein"
  • @set for global variables

Comments - # (safe inside strings)

  • Clean and human-readable syntax with proper scoping

SEIN combines the simplicity of INI with modern features like inheritance, variable substitution, and subkeys - making it perfect for game engines, tools, and complex applications.
