TyD (Tynan's Tidy Data Language) is an open source data language created by Tynan Sylvester, to improve the layout of game-oriented data. You can read the official specification here(https://github.com/TynanSylvester/TyD).

Values in TyD can be simple_values, “quoted strings”, numbers, lists, tables or null. Values can be given a name, making them a record of name/value. You can make a table using curly brackets, and putting a list of records in it, separated by new lines or semicolons, e.g.

Software Inc. uses a fork of Tynan’s C# implementation of TyD, which you can find here(https://github.com/khornel/TyDSharp).

If you want to know why Software Inc. switched from XML to TyD, and not something else, you should read the comparison section of the TyD specification.(https://github.com/TynanSylvester/TyD#comparisons) Other than the reasons listed, TyD resembled C# a lot, which reduces friction during development and I would rather not rely on a third party closed-source solution when parsing data.
