@eniko I like the sound of that a lot I think. Interesting that you encode keys and strings differently, I guess that helps when inspecting the file manually; you can reset your mental parser at every "K<string>".

How do you encode keys/strings? Are they 0 terminated?

I would be tempted to use LEB128 for integers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEB128),is that what you're doing or are they fixed width?

I wouldn't be surprised if I write up a proper spec based on these ideas some time in the future & use it
