Still early, but here's my baby I hope can improve things:
website with grammar spec: https://tree-annotation.org/
prototype of a JSON/YAML alternative for JS: https://github.com/tree-annotation/tao-data-js
same thing, even less finished for C#: https://github.com/tree-annotation/tao-data-csharp
working on it constantly, more to come soon

XML is better than YAML
17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Sep 2023

Whenever this kind of arguments come up, I am sad that RON (https://github.com/ron-rs/ron) is not better known. To me it feels like a cleaner and better JSON.
In any case, my little experience with it had made me hate YAML. Generally speaking, I have come to dislike any language with significant whitespace other than Haskell.
What config format do you prefer?

Part of the reason why I migrated away from RON in system76-scheduler is because I needed to rely on the 253-untagged-enums branch from https://github.com/MomoLangenstein/ron. Which still isn't resolved today: https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/pull/451.

Serde is strongly, strictly typed: you have to specify what type you want to decode to. It’s nothing like Python’s Pickle protocol.
See, for example, https://github.com/ron-rs/ron/blob/484fcab0686dfd18c7e29b6c1..., where it (in a type-inferency way) says “parse as Config”.
