And I want to grab some kind of value from it.

There is a powerful tool designed for solving such problems. Is is called regular expressions.

sample.grab(start="fruit:", end="\n")

...

...

'apple'

re.search(r'fruit:(.*?)\n', sample)[1]

sample.grab(start="tree:[", end="]")

...

...

'Apple tree'

re.search(r'tree:\[(.*?)\]', sample)[1]

sample.grab(start="quantity:{", end="}", list_out=True)

...

...

[5, 3]

list(re.findall(r'quantity:\{(.*?)\}', sample))
