SON (Simple Object Notation) data interchange format.

Simple data format similar to JSON, but with some minor changes: - comments starts with # sign and ends with newline (\n) - comma after a key-value pair is optional - comma after an array element is optional

JSON is compatible with SON in a sense that JSON data is also SON data, but not vise versa.

SON data example:

{
    # Personal information

    "name": "Alexander Grothendieck"
    "fields": "mathematics"
    "main_topics": [
        "Etale cohomology"
        "Motives"
        "Topos theory"
        "Schemes"
    ]
}
