the tokenizer saves the indentation information for the parser), but

RSON (Readable Serial Object Notation) is a superset of JSON that is
suitable for files that humans have to edit and diff.
The current release is decoder-only, but the decoder will read files
encoded by JSON encoders such as json or simplejson.
The current release consists of a single Python modu
