NestedText is a file format for holding data that is to be entered, edited, or viewed by people. It allows data to be organized into a nested collection of dictionaries, lists, and strings.  Similar to YAML, but much simpler. It pairs nicely with voluptuous to create a simple and powerful solution for configuration files.                                                             

NestedText is a nice alternative to JSON, YAML, and TOML.
