Package sauce is a Go module that parses SAUCE metadata. The Standard Architecture for Universal Comment Extensions is an architecture and protocol for attaching meta data and comments to files. While intended for ANSI art files, SAUCE has always had provisions for many different file types. From the original SAUCE specification: In the early 1990s there was a growing popularity in ANSI artwork. The ANSI art groups regularly released the works of their members over a certain period. Some of the bigger groups also included specialised viewers in each ‘artpack’. One of the problems with these artpacks was a lack of standardized way to provide meta data to the art, such as the title of the artwork, the author, the group, ... Some of the specialised viewers provided such information for a specific artpack either by encoding it as part of the executable, or by having some sort of database or list. However every viewer did it their own way. This meant you either had to use the viewer included with the artpack, or had to make do without the extra info. SAUCE was created to address that need. So if you wanted to, you could use your preferred viewer to view the art in a certain artpack, or even store the art files you liked in a separate folder while retaining the meta data. The goal was simple, but the way to get there certainly was not. Logistically, we wanted as many art groups as possible to support it. Technically, we wanted a system that was easy to implement and – if at all possible – manage to provide this meta data while still being compatible with all the existing software such as ANSI viewers, and Bulletin Board Software.
