Object1
    Key Value
    Object2
        Key2 Value2
        Object3
            Key3 Value3
            List {
                1,2,3,4
            }

Examples:

# Simple key, value
Key Value
# Object
Object
    MyObjectKey MyValue
# Lists
List {
    1,2,3,4
}
# List with objects
List2 {
    {
        MyListObjKey MyValue
        MyListObj
            MyObjKey MyValue
    }
}
# You can stack objects and lists
Object1
    Object2
        Key Value
    List { 1,2,3,4 }
# Its possible to mark objects with a classname for
# later processing of the data
User : User
    Username Max
    LastLogin 2021-02-15
