It is. JSON documents normally don't contain newlines. The
complexity I was referring to is linked to the myriad of data
types we have in hansl, each of which requires a different
JSON-isation. For example, I would have stored matrices in a
completely different way (that is, vectorisation + 2 scalars for
dimensions, similar to what we use in mread/mwrite), but your
solution is also nice and has its own advantages.
I guess one would try to target a format that is easily understood
by the already existing json tools in R, Python etc. Maybe Artur
knows what they would look like.
