File structures with simple contents can be used instead of YAML, TOML or JSON. More effectively!
fx – a terminal JSON viewer & processor
A terminal viewer & processor for JSON, YAML, & TOML (TUI and CLI)

Lume, the static site generator for Deno
Support for multiple file formats like Markdown, YAML, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, Nunjucks etc.

DASL: MASL — Metadata for Arbitrary Structures & Links
MASL is a CBOR-based metadata system that is designed to work well with content-addressed and decentralised systems, to enable fully self-contained, self-certified content distribution.

A fast Rust based tool to serialize text-based files in a repository or directory for LLM consumption
plain_text_files_are_at_risk.md — paste.sr.ht
For better or worse, plain-text files, with their many encodings and layered formats, are the only real universal data interface we have had so far.
JuiceFS - Open Source Distributed POSIX File System for Cloud
JuiceFS is a cloud-based high-performance distributed file system, based on object storage and database to achieve data and metadata separation architecture, easily carrying tens of billions of file storage, to meet the random read performance requirements of big data, AI, autonomous driving, gene sequencing and other massive data.

Parquet
Apache Parquet Documentation Releases Apache Parquet is an open source, column-oriented data file format designed for efficient data storage and retrieval. It provides high performance compression and encoding schemes to handle complex data in bulk and is supported in many programming languages and analytics tools.
JSON Formatter & Validator
Format and validate JSON data so that it can easily be read by human beings.

Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies
Computer users organize their files into folders because that is the primary tool offered by operating systems. But applying this standard hierarchical model to my own files, I began to notice shortcomings of this paradigm over the years. At the same time, I used some other information systems not based on hierarchical path names, and they turned out to solve a number of problems. I propose a new way of organizing files based on tagging, and describe the features and consequences of this method in detail.
DASL: Content-Addressable aRchives (CAR)
The CAR format offers a serialized representation of set of content-addressed resources in one single concatenated stream, alongside a header that describes that content.

Research Object Crate (RO-Crate)
RO-Crate is a community effort to establish a lightweight approach to packaging research data with their metadata. It is based on schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, and aims to make best-practice in formal metadata description accessible and practical for use in a wider variety of situations, from an individual researcher working with a folder of data, to large data-intensive computational research environments.
I can’t wait for academics to start using @semble.so more 🫶 been thinking i should bite the bullet and look at doing a zotero plugin to sync folders → semble but still torn bc i actually like jabref for metadata management more…but zotero is otherwise better and more used. sigh
