Exactly my observation! JSON became famous as a revolt against the complex XML ecosystem, but it reinvented a square wheel. YAML is no different - its specification and feature set is quite overwhelming. There's so much quality work done with XML that all this effort is a complete waste. From streaming parsers to the XQuery, and great projects such as VTD-XML [0], it's sad to see us spinning wheels. I see TOML as another wasteful attempt at something that's only slightly better but requiring a new toolchain and an ecosystem. [0]: https://vtd-xml.sourceforge.io/ |
