# ASV
This module allows encoding and decoding data using ASV (ASCII-separated
values). Data is organized into a hierarchy of files, groups, records, and
units, separated by ASCII FS, GS, RS, and US respectively.
An example stream of data...
```
record[US]one[RS]record[US]two[GS]record one in group two[FS]record one in file two
```
... Is parsed into:
```
Collection {
File {
Group {
Record {
"record",
"one",
},
Record {
"record",
"two",
},
},
Group {
Record {
"record one in group two",
},
},
},
File {
Group {
Record {
"record one in file two",
},
},
},
}
```
Although it uses ASCII control characters, this module operates on UTF-8 text.
