Advantages of Human-readable Asset Files

• Creators can easily make formatting changes in the later stages;
• Readers can quickly understand the file structure and what each section represents;
• People who need to use this type of file can easily write code to retrieve its contents;

Mesh Files

Here is an example of my lua structure

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15

return
{
vertex = 
{
{ -0.4, -0.4, 0.0 },
{  0.4, -0.4, 0.0 },
{  0.4,  0.4, 0.0 },
{ -0.4,  0.4, 0.0 },
},
index  = 
{
	0, 1, 2,
    0, 2, 3,
},
}

The reason I do it in this way is that it is a highly readable structure. By using keywords like “vertex”, the reader would quickly understand the usage of each block.
