**YSON** (YSON - Simple Object Notation) - is a really lightweight data interchange format.
It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a JSON, which is completely language independent, but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages.
YSON is built on simple rule - to reduce the redundand syntax elements. It supports all possible data structures are supported by JSON itself. Inspired by awesome YAML and JADE syntaxes.
