I don't know what the scope of what you're trying to do is, but if you're
merely storing data, then I'd vote for the something like

objectname = {
	name = value;
	name = value;
	subobj = {
		subname=value;
	}
}

Which is easy to parse, and easily extends to arbitrary (static)
complexity.

However, if you want dataflow, rather than just data storing, it doesn't
cut the mustard...
