We recently published a paper suggesting an alternative to HDF5 [1] using directories for objects, YAML for metadata and NumPy for data. Many of the points in this article were raised by the reviwers or were worries we had about choosing YAML as the metadata format. In the end, we decided to use a subset of YAML with only basic tags, enforced quoted strings, no directives, and no block scalar styles (fancy multiline strings). So far it has worked out great. I hope it will make the format easier to understand for users and make it possible to write faster parsers in the future.
