##printtable Simple debugging function that can be either required or copy-pasted on files, prints the given table to the console in a nice nested view.

##dotakv Package to convert between tables and strings using Dota 2's key-value format (the same used on map editing) Deserialize using sometable = KV:Parse(somestr) and serialize using somestr = KV:Dump(sometable). Useful for using together with FileToString and StringToFile.

KV = require "dotakv.main"

mytable = {
	a = "b",
	somekey = {
		supports = "nesting",
		doesnt = "nil"
	}
}
mystring = [[
"DOTAKeyValueExample" {
	"PackageInfo" "Cool Parser"
	"Supports" "Almost everything" //including comments
	//anywhere.
	"AndObviously" {
		"Nesting" "1"
	}
}
]]

print(KV:Dump("ImportantStuff", mytable))
PrintTable(KV:Parse(mystring))
