I've been rocking the ini file config for 25+ years, it just works, zaro bugs, and I can get on with building cool stuff.
- ChrisSD 8y agoYAML I think is too full featured. It does way too much for a config file format. INI and TOML have the advantage of being simple and focused. My only issue with INI is that different parsers aren't always entirely compatible with one another. But that's mostly only a problem for edge cases.
- h1d 8y agoLucky your parsers have been behaving as you expect when the format isn't even standardized. You can keep building "cool" stuff with a bit more solid format as well.
