The characters and tokens that structure and delimit an Internet Object document.
The Internet Object format uses a small set of structural characters, literals, and other special characters to structure and delimit data. Working together with objects, strings, arrays, numbers, and whitespace, these elements compose the format's grammar and let documents express complex, flexible data structures.
Structural Characters & Separators — core syntax characters that organize data
Literals — predefined constant values (booleans, null, special numbers)
Other Special Characters — functional modifiers for variables, schemas, and values
Whitespace & Indentation — recognized Unicode whitespace and its handling
Value Representations — data types and how values are written
Comments — comment syntax and usage
Encoding — character encoding and Unicode support
