For those uninitiated, every JSON is a valid YAML, since YAML is just a superset of JSON.

For serializing? I’d probably just go with json.

For content meant to be written or edited by humans? YAML all day baby

Ever tried NestedText? It’s like basic YAML but everything is a string (types are up to the code that ingests it), and you never ever need to escape a character.

I’ve got too many consumers that I don’t control which dictate their input formats. And to be quite honest, “types are up to the code that ingests it” sounds like a huge negative to me.

Ah, well I love that policy (types being in code, not configs). FWIW I sometimes use it as a hand-edited document, with a small type-specifying file, to generate json/yaml/toml for other programs to load.
