Dense format

While JSON tends to be smaller in file size than XML due to lower character use, the data is often a lot more vertical than it is horizontal, which can at times be fatiguing for a human to browse.

To offset this, the following example represents a more dense way of presenting the DAT file JSON. Mostly it collapses select objects to move the data horizontally.
