The KON parser is relatively lax when it comes to formatting. However, there are three main ways in which KON should preferably be formatted for readability and style.

Style 1: Default

The default style is to place line breaks between most names, formatting characters, and elements, as follows:

Node
{
    item = foo
    item2 = bar
    Array [ foo; bar; ]
}

Style 2: Inline

The inline style does not use line breaks. It is comparable to inline JSON, which is typically used for web APIs.

Node { item = foo; item2 = bar; Array [ foo; bar; ] }

Style 3: All Line Breaks

This style is identical to the default syntax except in that arrays are not written as inline:

Node
{
    item = foo
    item2 = bar
    Array
    [
        foo
        bar
    ]
}

The following style should never be used:

Node {
    ...
}

Node and array names should be in either PascalCase or UPPER_SNAKE_CASE. Value names should be in camelCase.
