JSON
Quite a lot of JavaScript libraries or frameworks exist for localizing an application.
Therefore, we have defined a standard JSON format.
Format
- The JSON format is used.
- The key must not be quoted to write a valid JavaScript object (hash).
However, the key and value must be quoted in a valid JSON file. - The placeholder syntax is
{{ placeholder }}
. - The file can have a flat or hierarchical structure (see examples below).
- comments for segments can be added in the format
_<key of the associated segment>.comment=…
Used by
- most JavaScript i18n frameworks
- React Intl
