Hi Shmuel,

It's not for any programming language.
It's for key-value pairs such as this.

Sample:
object=blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla+
blablablabla
objec2=small
objec3=blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablabla+
blablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablablab+
blablablablablablablablablabla
