When it comes to the anti-XML discussion — readability is an opinion, not a fact. A lot of what programmers claim are facts are just opinions.

I am sorry you dislike XML. I remain unconvinced that using JSON or YAML over it is anything other than a personal preference born out of your chosen programming community’s tribalism.

@grmpyprogrammer I'm a big fan of XML tbh, and not ashamed of that 😙

@asgrim @grmpyprogrammer as a Child I’m all I’m on , although I get used to yaml and json thanks to and .

TL;DR use what ever format makes you happy, I make it work for you.

(Please don’t start to pack json into xml into yaml or something like this shit!)
