It's versioned, so if we come up with significant improvements later, we can bump the version.
This format fills two voids:
1. The lack of native types in most of the other formats
2. The lack of either editability or processing efficiency, depending on whether it's a binary or text format.
I developed this format because I'm tired of putting encodings on top of encodings (i.e. base64) and other such tricks, just to get my data across to the other side, and I want a general purpose data format that's efficient as well as readable.
