The file is newline-delimited. The strings themselves are base64 encoded, so they could contain newlines.


It seems that blns.txt is the source content, then it's converted to blns.json, blns.base64.txt and blns.base64.json with the two scripts in the scripts folder (These resulting files shouldn't be in the repo in my opinion). One cannot possibly add strings with newlines in them, unless with some newline escaping that are handled in the scripts. It's a bad idea IMO and the source content should be the json file and blns.txt should be dropped.
