FormNFKC

FormNFKC is a data serialization format primarily used for representing and transmitting structured information. It is designed to be human-readable and machine-parseable, making it suitable for configuration files, data exchange between applications, and web APIs. The format is based on a simple key-value pair structure, where keys are strings and values can be strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, or nested objects.

The name "FormNFKC" is an abbreviation that reflects its core principles, although the exact meaning of the acronym is not publicly defined by the format's creators. Its emphasis on clarity and a straightforward syntax allows developers to easily understand and work with data represented in this format. The nesting capability enables the representation of complex, hierarchical data structures, which is crucial for many modern applications.

FormNFKC supports a variety of data types, including primitive types like integers, floating-point numbers, and boolean values, as well as more complex types such as lists or arrays and dictionaries or objects. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of use cases. The format is often compared to other serialization formats like JSON and YAML, sharing some similarities in its goals of providing an accessible and efficient way to handle data. However, FormNFKC may offer specific advantages in certain contexts, such as particular parsing efficiencies or a slightly different approach to data modeling. Its adoption is largely driven by specific project requirements or community preferences where its particular features are deemed beneficial.
