Yeah, good point (plus it's not fantastic for this project anyway). I'm going to think hard on this, I quite like YAML...

Fwiw I like yaml as well but it's just got a few too many issues these days.

While you are thinking maybe look at this

and how people could leverage it when using your format.

Ah yes, I know about jq, it's fantastic. I've switched to JSON, with heavy heart, but YAML seems too big indeed.
