improve NUON documentation (#12717)
# Description this PR - moves the documentation from `lib.rs` to `README.md` while still including it in the lib file, so that both the [crates.io page](https://crates.io/crates/nuon) and the [documentation](https://docs.rs/nuon/latest/nuon/) show the top-level doc - mention that comments are allowed in NUON - add a JSON-NUON example - put back the formatting of NOTE blocks in the doc # User-Facing Changes # Tests + Formatting # After Submitting

Support for the NUON format.
|
||||
|
||||
The NUON format is a superset of JSON designed to fit the feel of Nushell.
|
||||
Some of its extra features are
|
||||
- trailing commas are allowed
|
||||
- commas are optional in lists
|
||||
- quotes are not required around keys or any _bare_ string that do not contain spaces
|
||||
- comments are allowed, though not preserved when using [`from_nuon`]
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
below is some data in the JSON format
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "Some One",
|
||||
"birth": "1970-01-01",
|
||||
"stats": [
|
||||
2544729499973429198,
|
||||
687051042647753531,
|
||||
6702443901704799912
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and an equivalent piece of data written in NUON
|
||||
```nuon
|
||||
{
|
||||
name: "Some One", # the name of the person
|
||||
birth: "1970-01-01", # their date of birth
|
||||
stats: [ # some dummy "stats" about them
|
||||
2544729499973429198,
|
||||
687051042647753531,
|
||||
6702443901704799912, # note the trailing comma here...
|
||||
], # and here
|
||||
} # wait, are these comments in a JSON-like document?!?!
|
||||
```
