What is FRED?

FRED (Flexible REpresentation of Data) is a data-interchange format. It was created with the goal to be easy for humans to read and write but also easy to create parsers.

It has more data types than JSON and some features like support for metadata and tags.

fredValue = parse("tag (h1=42) { key : true }")
console.log(fredValue) 
/*

  attrs: [ { h1: 42 } ],
  atom: [ { key: true } ]
