This is a proposal for replacing the fomod file format for mod installations.
To use it you create a mi.json file in the root of your mod archive.
All schemata are MIT-Licensed.
The respective installations are ~44KB vs ~22KB big.

<description>Idrinth Thalui is an ancient Altmer, or High Elf, following the warrior god Trinimac. He patrols between Solitude and Riften and visits their temples. As warrior with a two-handed sword, a mage specializing in restoration magic and a merchant trading unusual goods, he is a useful addition to any party. If you can't find him right away, there is a search quest you can enable in the MCM as well as a teleport.</description>
