Just save it as a table it'll encode and decode itself for you.

if you really need to, you can compress the data datastores have a limit of something like ~65k JSON string characters

its not too complex of a table, but it does include subtables example inventory = { [1] = {"Hat","Color"}, -- the same repeats } i make u math.sqrt()

You can not have a dictionary table with numbers as keys, unless those keys are 1, 2, 3 etc (Because it reads that like a normal table You could always json your table and print it and see what characters are not needed and make your own json function to make it as compact as you can
