求助识别游戏配置文件中类JSON的特殊换行分隔数据格式名称

Hey there! Nice find digging into those game config files—custom data formats like this are super common in game development, but they often fly under the radar because they're usually engine-specific.

First off, this doesn't have a universal official name, but it's clearly a JSON-like custom configuration format tailored for game use. Here's how it maps to standard JSON, which might help you wrap your head around it:

Your example format:

"someIndex" {
  "someOtherIndex" {
    "someKey" "someValue"
    "someOtherKey" "someOtherValue"
  }
}

Equivalent standard JSON:

{
  "someIndex": {
    "someOtherIndex": {
      "someKey": "someValue",
      "someOtherKey": "someOtherValue"
    }
  }
}

The key differences you'll notice:

• It replaces JSON's key-value colon separator (:) with a simple space
• It omits commas between key-value pairs, using line breaks instead to delimit entries
• It keeps JSON's curly brace nesting structure for hierarchical data

Game devs often use these stripped-down variants because they're faster to parse (fewer special characters to process) and quicker to write by hand for in-house configs. If you can tie it to a specific game engine (like some indie devs roll their own, or older engines had similar stripped-down formats), you might find it referenced under an engine-specific name—but otherwise, calling it a "space-separated JSON-like game config format" is totally accurate.
