v0.1.0

Added

• Initial Release: First public version of the cton gem.
• CTON Encoder: Cton.dump (aliased as Cton.generate) to convert a Ruby Hash into a CTON string.
  • Encodes objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and nil.
  • Automatic table detection for arrays of uniform hashes, creating a highly compact representation: key[N]{h1,h2}=v1,v2;....
  • Smart string quoting: only quotes strings containing special characters, whitespace, or those that could be misinterpreted as numbers, booleans, or null.
  • Number normalization: canonicalizes floats and BigDecimal to a clean, exponent-free format. NaN and Infinity are converted to null for safety.
  • Configurable separator (\n by default) between top-level key-value pairs.
• CTON Decoder: Cton.load (aliased as Cton.parse) to parse a CTON string back into a Ruby object.
  • Handles all CTON structures: objects (), arrays [], and compact tables []{}.
  • Supports an optional symbolize_names: true argument to convert all hash keys to symbols.
  • Robust parsing of scalars, including quoted and unquoted strings.
• Error Handling: Cton::EncodeError for unsupported Ruby types during encoding and Cton::ParseError for malformed CTON input.
• Documentation: README.md with a format overview, usage examples, and rationale.
• Testing: Comprehensive RSpec suite ensuring round-trip integrity and correct handling of edge cases.
