alexanderadamYou'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.

While the format is technically human-readable, it needs tooling to be even decent at that. So I'd say it's closer to binary formats than YAML in terms of readability.
Note that the examples all use newlines and indents, but in practice, the format would probably be more densely packed.

@straightshoota @CrystalLanguage I agree that it's rather a niche.
I think it needs at least editor support — then we'd be good.
