XML is verbose. That’s the problem. YAML is ridiculously complex, with a bunch of surprising behaviour. I would take XML over YAML any day.

- raverbashing 3y agoBasic XML is fine, maybe a bit verbose But when you start getting into why are some things properties, or values, XSD or what not, then no. Nobody has time for those thick XML books
- stephenr 3y agoYou can choose to use XML without XSD. That's entirely up to you. You cannot choose to use YAML without the string 'no' becoming boolean false. Plenty of people complain about the complexity with XML, and there is a valid argument there. Using it as an argument in favour of YAML is kind of ridiculous.
