You're looking for something that's readable but more efficient and smaller than #JSON or #YAML?
Structure data with #ASCII control codes like people did in 1963!

There's also a library in @CrystalLanguage available.

C0DATA — Structure Data with Control Codes

@alexanderadam @CrystalLanguage That's sounds very interesting. Have you heard of any Ruby implementation?

@rorvswild I heard you might consider working on one 😂

…probably you can even fork the repo, remove and add some files, do some `git mv` (to preserve the file history) and remove the type definitions.

My guess is that this would already be 90% of what's needed.
