I don't need to hear you out, xml *is* better than yaml. Yaml is just a random descriptor that can be ruined by a typo. xml has xslt and xsl, and what have you.

I don't need to hear you out, xml *is* better than yaml. Yaml is just a random descriptor that can be ruined by a typo. xml has xslt and xsl, and what have you. It just happens to have a shape that went out of favor because of monstrosities like ESBs and Spring and people have PTSD. I can easily validate and transform my XML just by writing more XML which is awesome. This is why I don't use yaml if I can help it. If I want some descriptor JSON is still better since I can validate it with JSON Schema, or whatever validator I choose out of many. Yaml on most platforms is barely supported.
