I've actually been employing Emoji Separated Values (ESV), often , here and there when doing some of this kind of work. Granted, it's not standard, but it's been really useful when I've needed it.
*edit Apparently emojis don't fly here, but it was an index finger pointing right.

- philipwhiuk 3y agoThe benefit of this is that you can use different emojis to denote content type. e.g. if it's a frowny face you know it's an invoice.
- ubutler 3y agoFunnily enough, I published a Python library two days ago that uses emojis to indicate where certain non-msgpackable builtin types have been forced into msgpackable objects: https://github.com/umarbutler/persist-cache/blob/main/src/persist_cache/serialization.py https://github.com/umarbutler/persist-cache/blob/main/src/pe... is used for tuples, for sets, for frozen sets, for pickles, for bytes and for bytearrays. I thought it was pretty ingenious but clearly I’m not the only one to think of it.
