Attributes Kit

Attributes Kit is a (as the name suggest) kit which helps you with rendering MSON (plain-text, human and machine readable, description format for describing data structures).

For instance—it turns the following...

- id: 1
- name: A green door
- price: 12.50
- tags: home, green

...into this.
