more like gayson because it fucking sucks

better than xml by a mile

>>105801511
this, fuck xml and op.

json5 is pretty good
https://json5.org/

yeah, it's webshit crap
real programmers use IFF

If text editors would parse numerical data types (through addons) it would go a long way towards making these text formats usable instead of endless compromises. Shit they probably already do don't they?

>>105801467 (OP)
We should just use Lua objects for data interchange

"yeah" "it's" "hot" "garbage" "whoever" "decided" "to" "put" "" "everywhere" "should" "meet" "the" "rope"

Xml is faaaar superior

why didn't they just allow trailing commas

There you go

>>105802578
lmao yaml btfo

>>105801467 (OP)
very true. the inventor himself is a huge faggot.

>>105802316
Nope. Named tag pairs is the stupidest thing ever invented for data storage. Takes twice as long to write, adds up to twice the storage requirement, and doesn't even work in a way that would be useful for error detection or correction.

saaaar, do not redeem!

JSON is ok, the problem is that it's a serialization format and it's not supposed to be used as a configuration format.

>>105802811
Cope. Human-readable also means means easy to write

>>105801467 (OP)
Needs to drop the js from it

>>105803739
I always wonder why giving formats version numbers is so unpopular. It completely solves these kind of compatibility issues.

they are both fine

>using xml for data storage

>>105803762
I was wondering that too with docker compose depreciation of version

>>105802578
Not serializable.

>>105802578
yaml is a genuinely dangerous and retarded format
json and xml are fine, a little gay but whatever

>>105803774
..that is what it's for you absolute retard. Do you think configuration is not data?

>>105801624
Looks like shit.
>>105802316
There is almost nothing worse and you should reconsider living for thinking XML is good.

>>105803973
uhhhhh akshually everything in the whole world is
>le data
dumb faggot

>>105801467 (OP)
Protobufs are far superior, and you can use CBOR if you must have a self-describing format

Just use S-Expressions
