Declarative Format Parser

format-parser is a JavaScript utility designed for parsing declarative format strings, primarily intended for use with template engines. It allows for the definition of data transformations and formatting within a string, such as `created_at | date:"%Y %M %d"`. The package's current and only version, `0.0.2`, was last published in December 2012. It emerged from the now-obsolete `component(1)` build ecosystem, a client-side package manager that predates modern npm and browser module bundlers. Due to its age and lack of updates, it is considered abandoned. This makes it unsuitable for modern development, as it lacks support for ES Modules, TypeScript, and has not received security patches or performance improvements in over a decade. Modern alternatives provide more robust, actively maintained, and feature-rich parsing capabilities for various data formats.
