HSV

HSV is both a text-based file format and a streaming protocol, using ASCII control characters. Unlimited nesting (like JSON). No escaping required. Binary data supported via DLE transparency.

**Spec**: [hsvfile.com](https://hsvfile.com)

- **No escaping** - Quotes, backslashes, newlines are literal data - **Streaming** - STX/ETX framing with clear block boundaries - **Unlimited nesting** - SO/SI for nested structures - **Binary mode** - DLE transparency for raw bytes - **Parallel parsing** - Records are independent, trivially parallelizable
