Something I forgot to include about strings is that you can also write multiline strings that you don't want to be interpreted as multiline. For example:

single-line-string: > 
    This
    should
    be
    one
    line

And this is how it'll look like in JSON:

{
    "single-line-string": "This should be one line\n"
}

When using the > character, instead of |, each new line will be interpreted as an empty space.
