JSON, sure, but I think YAML pre-dated the launch of nginx (if not the initial development).

YAML initial release: 2001 Nginx initial release: 2004

Well ok. But I'd still argue that Nginx was invented before the popularization of YAML. I think I didn't see YAML until I got in touch with Rails in 2007, which used the format extensively. And even then, almost everyone I met didn't take it seriously, saying that it is a joke until Microsoft, IBM, etc support it.
