JSON and XML are not perfect but are simple formats with simple rules. YAML, on the other hand, is not simple. The specs are so baroque that JSON is part of it.

JSON and XML are not perfect but are simple formats with simple rules. YAML, on the other hand, is not simple. The specs are so baroque that JSON is part of it. That's my problem with YAML. Other people may have other problems, I understand that. It's nice that you believe that people tend to use good things and abandon bad things. I wish world would work like that. But it doesn't.
