Note Data Format

Note Data Format (NotedDF) is a lightweight structured data format designed for human-readable notes and efficient machine parsing. It prioritizes minimal syntax, compact representation, and single-pass parsing while remaining intuitive to write by hand.

Design Goals

• Human-readable note-style syntax
• Compact representation compared to JSON
• Deterministic single-pass parsing
• Minimal structural overhead
• Efficient token usage for AI workflows

Example Structure

user:
  name: Alice
  age: 30
  tags: python ai ml

The format allows structured data to be written naturally, making it suitable for configuration files, note-taking systems, and AI prompt data interchange.

Architecture

• Tokenization and indentation-based structure
• Lightweight grammar and deterministic parsing
• Structured object representation
• Format designed for extensibility and tooling
