FAMF: Files As Metadata Format
FAMF: Files As Metadata Format
File structures with simple contents can be used instead of YAML, TOML or JSON. More effectively!
YAML and TOML suck. Long live the FAMF!
You're viewing a single thread.
I think a more clear name for this would be "filesystem data structures" since the key idea is editing structured data through the filesystem. I can imagine a FUSE driver that can map many types of data to this structure.
Yes. That is indeed a more interesting name. But think of the acronym.
- FDS is not as easy to say FAMF.
- FAMF already has an Urban Dictionary entry.
Lol your second point is irrefutable, I must concede to the choice of FAMF 😹
Yes... "metadata" is becoming an overused term. Not all data is metadata.
My first thought when I read the title was about those
.nfofiles used by Kodi/Jellyfin and other media centers to keep information relative to the media files.
