The PDI specification tree is expressed in YAML.

specification tree root

The specification tree root is a mapping that contains the following keys:

key	value
"types" (optional)	a types_map
"data" (optional)	a data_map
"metadata" (optional)	a data_map
"plugins" (optional)	a plugin_map
"logging" (optional)	a logging
"plugin_path" (optional)	a plugin_path
"." (optional*)	anything

the types section specifies user-defined datatypes
the data and metadata sections specify the type of the data in buffers exposed by the application; for metadata, PDI keeps a copy while it only keeps references for data,
the plugins section specifies the list of plugins to load and their configuration,
the plugin_path section specifies the path to a directory where PDI should search for plugins
the logging section specify logger properties
additional sections are ignored.

Example:

metadata:
  my_metadata: int
data:
  my_data:
    type: array
    subtype: double
    size: 5
plugins:
  decl_hdf5: #...

"\+." (optional*)	anything

A array_type_node represents a potentially multi-dimensional array where:

the value associated to the size key represents the size of the array in each dimension (C order),
the value associated to the subtype key represents the type of the elements in the array,

the value associated to the start key represents the index of the first element to actually use in each dimension (slicing), if specified it must have the same number of elements as size, this defaults to the first (0) element in each dimension,
keys that start with + represent attributes, the associated value can be anything (scalar, sequence or mapping).

any user-defined datatype name.

simple_datatype is just a string that identifies the referenced type. All others cases are dictionaries whose type key identifies the type.

A datatype represents the memory layout and interpretation for data exposed by the user in the data store.

Optional attributes can be added to any datatype. An attribute is identified by a key that starts with the + character. The value can be anything (scalar, sequence or mapping).

Warning: Some additional types that are not listed here might be made available by plugins.

Example:

data_name:
  type: int
  +first_attr: attr_value_1
  +second_attr: [attr, value]
  +third_attr: {key_0: 0, key_1: 1}

datatype_with_disp

A datatype_with_disp is a mapping that must be a valid datatype with an additional disp key:

key	value
"disp"	a integer-valued $-expression
"type"	a type identifier

the value associated to the disp key specifies the offset in bytes from the base address of the container to this specific member,
the other keys and values are interpreted as for a datatype .

A double_type is a mapping that contains the following keys:

key	value
"type"	"double"
"\+." (optional*)	anything

A double_type represents the C double type; it accepts no parameter.

Example:

$-expression

A $-expression is a scalar whose content matches the following grammar:

/* parsing as a REFERENCE is preferred over OPERATION
   parsing as an OPERATION is preferred over STRING_LITERAL
*/
EXPRESSION     := REFERENCE | OPERATION | STRING_LITERAL
 
STRING_LITERAL := ( CHAR | '\' '\' | '\' '$'
                  | REFERENCE
                  | '$' '(' OPERATION ')'
                  )*
 
/* The operator descending precedence order is:
   1. *, /, %: multiplication, division and modulo,
   2. +, -: addition and subtraction,
   3. <, >: less than and greater than,
   4. =: equality,
   5. &: logical AND,
   6. |: logical OR.
*/
OPERATION      := TERM ( OPERATOR TERM )*
 
TERM           := ( INT_LITERAL | REFERENCE | '(' OPERATION ')' )
 
REFERENCE      := '$' ( IREFERENCE | '{' IREFERENCE '}' )
 
IREFERENCE     := ID ( '[' OPERATION ']' | '.' ID )*
 
 
 
INT_LITERAL ~= (0x)? [0-9]+ ( \.  )
ID          ~= [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*
CHAR        ~= [^$\\]
OPERATOR    ~= [|&=<>+\-\*/%]

The rules for evaluating an expression are close to those of BASH for example.

In addition to raw text, a STRING_LITERAL can contain references to the string value of some data in the store as well as the result of an operation by enclosing it inside a dollar-parenthesis $().

An OPERATION can include logical and arithmetic operators grouped by parenthesis. The basic terms manipulated in an operation can be integer literals or references to the integer value of some data in the store.

A REFERENCE is introduced by a dollar $ sign and optionally enclosed in curly braces {, }. Its value is that of the data or metadata with the associated name. It is always a good idea to have referenced values in the metadata section as it prevents dangling references. Value formatting can be applied using a FMT format_spec string by adding a column : followed by the format_spec after a column just before the closing bracket } (see: https://fmt.dev/latest/syntax.html#grammar-token-format_spec). A direct reference is possible as well as sub-references to:

array elements using the square brackets [, ] operator,
record member using dot . operator.

The value-type of an EXPRESSION is as follow:

if it's a REFERENCE, it has the type of the referenced data in the store,
if it's a OPERATION, it is integer-valued,
if it's a STRING_LITERAL, it is string-valued.

In addition, an integer can be interpreted as a string or as a boolean value where zero is interpreted as false and any other value as true.

The following strings can also be interpreted as a boolean integer values:

true (1): y, Y, yes, Yes, YES, true, True, TRUE, on, On, ON.
false (0): n, N, no, No, NO, false, False, FALSE, Off, Off, OFF.

Example:

'$my_data'

'($my_data + 3) % 6'

'${my_data.subarray[0]} * 42'

'my name is ${my_name}'

'${my_data:05d}'
'${my_data:b}'

'${my_data:>15s}'
