Project page (two tutorials): http://dsource.org/projects/orange
Repository: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/orange

Documentation:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18386187/orange_docs/orange.serialization.Serializer.html

(Don't forget the "Package" tab)

Unit tests are available in the "tests" directory. These unit tests are 
not like regular unit tests that test individual functions. These unit 
tests are on a higher level.

The most important part to review is the "serialization" package. The 
rest is mostly utility modules.

Running the unit tests:
./unittest.sh

Use "make" to compile the library or create an executable using rdmd.

A few things to think about that need to be resolved:

* This is quite a large library and I really don't want to put it all 
into one module. I'm hoping it will be OK with a package

* I would really like to keep the unit tests in their own modules 
because they're quite large and the modules are already large without 
the unit tests in them

* The unit tests use a kind of mini-unit test framework. Should that be 
kept or removed?

Note:

The documentation is generate using D1, I don't think that should make a 
difference though.
