S57n

S57n is a notation used in the context of parsing and representing data structures, particularly within programming. It is often encountered when dealing with configuration files or serialized data. The core idea behind S57n is to provide a clear and human-readable way to define nested data.

This notation typically involves using indentation or specific delimiters to indicate hierarchical relationships between different data elements. For instance, a top-level key might have sub-keys indented beneath it, signifying that they are part of the parent key's structure. This visual representation aids in understanding the organization of complex data.

While the exact syntax can vary slightly depending on the implementation or library using it, the fundamental principle of representing structure through nesting remains consistent. S57n is not a formal programming language but rather a convention or specification for data representation. Its adoption aims to simplify data management and improve the readability of configuration or data files for developers and potentially end-users. It offers an alternative to more verbose or less intuitive serialization formats.
