IMO yaml is too complex. Just take a look at the spec: http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html

- vlunkr 12y agoSure YAML is more complex than JSON, but that's because it's more than just a data structure. If you are using it only for things that JSON can do, it's really not that complex.
