> XML, really? It’s bloated and outdated. Why not use JSON? It’s the future. Who says this? XML is a great general markup language that every one all ready knows, it's a perfectly valid choice for most things, please use it. Just don't make yet another bloated outdated markup language like YAML, any "optimisations" turn out to be opinion that doesn't justify the time spent learning a new language. Do you really want to be known as the guy that made YAML? No you don't.
