JSON vs. YAML – try it yourself

Actually, after finding out about TOML[1], I would suggest to look at it. It is a lot simpler than YAML, explicitly does not support dangerous features like deserializing arbitrary data structures, while being very readable. Spec is not entirely stable yet, though.

Agreed. After using both YAML and TOML, I'd say that TOML is much more readable as compared to YAML.

TOML does indeed look good, reminds me of a extended .ini format
