Note that Opossum assumed that end-of-field was a space, so some of this
doesn't quite apply:
Strings (If a field cannot be parsed as another type, it is by default
returned as a string):
"string data" OR stringdata
Numbers:
1 decimal integer
1.0 decimal floating point
0xhexstring hex integer
Characters (probably not used in Freenet)
'c' where c is a character
OR
#int where int is the character code
Booleans:
yes, no, true, false
Null:
null
The advantage here is that the Opossum serialization looks very much like
written english. Opossum also supported dictionaries and lists, and
nested structures, but I won't bore you with them. Nevertheless, here is
a Freenet message in Opossum style typing:
DataReply
DataSource=tcp/192.168.1.4:19914
HopsToLive=15
Key=0x01736d76ec6273b1009ffef17125521223
StreamingData=true
Comment=This is a string with "quotes" in it
Comment2="0xfeedfacedeadbeef"
Notice that the only visible difference is the 0x on hex strings, and the
quoted string in Comment2, needed since it would otherwise have been
treated as an integer.
