# Dent
> Duckonaut's Extensible Notation for Things.
## About
Dent is an extensible format for storing slightly-advanced data.
It's basic notation is simplistic to be human friendly, but allows
for some basic operations at file parse time, such as:
- importing other `.dent` files as parts of your file,
- merging split-up dictionaries or lists.
Many other operations you may need can be added with closures passed
to the `Dent` struct.
## Features
- Simple syntax
- Integers, floats, bools, strings
- Dictionaries
- Lists
- Comments
- Extensible functions
## Examples
```
# file: examples/dent/dict.dent
# Mario
{
name: Mario
skills: [
jumps
grows
]
age: 35
alive: true
}
# ...
# another file:
# Define a list of characters
[
@import "examples/dent/dict.dent"
{
name: Link
skills: [
swordfighting

]
age: 23
