Sharing data between images
Locked
 
|
Just wondering what my options are about sharing data between images, should I use Ston ? A database ? something else ? I would prefer options that have as few dependencies as possible and something that does not require from my users to install external stuff. |

Fuel is binary, faster and store more special kinds of objects. STON is textual, you can read and edit it, better suited for model objects.

I used message pack before.
Nice thing is that you can easily also integrate to other environments. https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-smalltalk http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~MasashiUmezawa/MessagePack Seabstian On 2015-11-29 6:57 AM, Dimitris Chloupis wrote: > Just wondering what my options are about sharing data between images, > should I use Ston ?

FUEL !!! Lol how I forgot about it ? Nice , I think its exactly what I was looking for , thanks. "Fuel is binary, faster and store more special kinds of objects. STON is textual, you can read and edit it, better suited for model objects." Yeah both options look very good, I think I may need something fast because I may end up with a lot of data (3d graphics data). So I will go with Fuel. The nice thing about STON is that because is JSON it will be easier to move between different languages. But then nothing stops me from choosing Fuel and making also a JSON exporter with STON. "I used message pack before. Nice thing is that you can easily also integrate to other environments." Thanks will take a look at this as well. |

Hi,
I'm using STON, precisely for its textual nature, because for collaborative writing it would be nice to have a diff friendly storage format. Still I haven't had the time to make my ston grafoscopio notebooks diff friendly when long lines appear (they're treated by fossil as binaries) but seems not to difficult to do (is mostly about having time to play with it).

you wanna version control your STON files ? sound reasonable. On Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 6:56 PM Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi, |

I do, but I have not made them diff friendly, because I store
"documents" on them, so is easy to have long lines inside them that
are treated as binaries in my DVCS (fossil). Sven have told me some
approaches to deal with this, but I haven't had the time to explore
them.
