JSON
JSON is a file format that allows for the storage and organization of hierarchical data into a relatively compact and human-readable style.
For example, here is an excerpt from the chicken.monstertype file:
{
"type" : "chicken",
"categories" : [ "chicken" ],
"parts" : [ "body" ],
It is a fairly simple matter to infer that "type" equals "chicken," it's in the "chicken" category, and there is a "part" called "body." Much more about the specifics of the JSON file format can be read on the Wikipedia page for JSON.
