Human-readable versatile data format

Project mention: Show HN: Jesth – Next-level human-readable data serialization format | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-18

Jesth is like a broken INI file parser that can only split a document into sections (each section consists of a header and a body which is just a list of strings).
Now, on top of that, I can write a hack to convert an arbitrary section to a dictionary data structure (provided the body of that section is written with a specific syntax designed for my hack).
I made this hack and included it in the Jesth library, so people can use it, much like the Python standard library is just there to help people not waste time rewriting the same algorithms for common tasks.
Jesth would be like JSON which is only about data. CUE, Dhall and Jsonnet jump on top of JSON to add some cool stuff.
I used Jesth for example to design a docstring markup language [1], as well as a scripting language [2].
I will soon publish a simple data validation mechanism for Jesth dict-sections (sections intended to be converted into a dictionary data structure). It might inspire people to create a more complex data validation or data constraint language on top of Jesth. This could be more readable than what is done elsewhere.
