→Example
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.

<nowiki>[ 1; 2; 3 ]</nowiki>
<nowiki>[ 1; 2; 3 ]</nowiki>
You can put lists in tables and tables in lists, but note that when you put a table in a list, it shouldn’t have a name (since it’s not a record). A TyD Document should contain a list of records. Most TyD documents in Software Inc. contain a single table record. Localizations contain a list of string records.

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

If you want to know why Software Inc. switched from XML to TyD, and not something else, [https://github.com/TynanSylvester/TyD#comparisons you should read the comparison section of the TyD specification]. 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.
