KIVI format deserializer.
KIVI is a simple text format for storing keys with associated values on separate lines. While it is not as widely known as formats like JSON or INI, it is straightforward and particularly useful in specific contexts where keys or values consist of multiple lines of text.
An example of a configuration file in KIVI format:
host
127.0.0.1
port
54321
timeout
12ms
host, port and timeout are keys; 127.0.0.1, 54321, 12ms are values.
It is quite similar to properties or INI file that store key-value pair in a single line.
In KIVI format, the key and/or value may span over multiple lines. Multiple-line keys or values must be enclosed in quotation marks.
host
127.0.0.1
port
54321
timeout
12ms
