Whats the text format used to serialize collections?

I have other questions too:

• Why Defold make it so hard to create things in runtime? Even with resource.load I still need to have a preallocated slot on my collection to “replace” (maybe I got this wrong).
• Why do I need a factory for each game object/collection? The same applies for proxies. Can’t a single one be used to load any game object? Does Defold uses this approach to optimize something behind the scenes? Is it worth?

Please read this piece of manual: Defold project settings

Long story short: all the components and GOs, under the hood are reused by the engine. Let’s name it pools for simplicity. So you don’t create/remove objects, you just increase/decrease the count of components currently used. To make it more efficient all the pools are
allocated in advance, which helps to keep Data Locality which needs for cache coherence.
