    I’m no fan of XML. It looks messy and the schema is difficult to write, imo. XML works best as a markup language.

    YAML could have been okay if it were stricter with what they consider strings, and used tabs instead of spaces.

      Using whitespace was a mistake. I know all the kids love it but it’s just wrong. I’ve never had as much difficulty explaining json or xml to users as I have yaml.
