The wiki says data stores can save tables with certain limitations, but it is not so clear on them. What are the limitations of saved tables, such as what a table's keys and values can be. Can a table store another table? What does a mixed table precisely mean and how do I avoid them?

A mixed table is a table containing at least two different values
ex.

{1, "hi", true}

So does that mean a data store cannot save that sort of table?

Oh, that helps a lot. I looked up JSON and data stores make sense now to me. I think I will just write my own Encoding/Decoding script to avoid several issues with tables in JSON.
