----------
I love it when my _ are in plaintext.

full.json

The most comprehensive format, including pack metadata and descriptions.

[
  {
    "name": "The Base Set",
    "official": true,
    "white": [{ "text": "Answer...", "pack": 0 }],
    "black": [{ "text": "Prompt...", "pick": 1, "pack": 0 }]
  }
]

compact.json

Optimized for file size. Uses a shared pool of cards and references them by index.

{
  "white": ["Answer card..."],
  "black": [{ "text": "Prompt...", "pick": 1 }],
  "packs": {
    "base": { "name": "Base Set", "white": [0], "black": [0] }
  }
}

Integration

Chris Hallberg wrote a small library to handle the compact format: CAHDeck.js.

This website itself is a demonstration of ingesting from compact.json, listing decks, combining selected decks, and exporting files site.js.

Check out the Canvas Deck Sampler for a live demonstration of ingesting the data.
