It's less evil than XML or YAML
YAML is (mostly) a superset of JSON. Is the face hugger any less evil than the alien bursting out of your chest?
It's got enough serious flaws and quirks that I can feel smug hating on it. JSON is far from perfect, but overall it's the least worst of human-readable formats.
Only Python manages to get away with syntactical indentation.
The complaints about yaml's quirks (
noevaluating tofalse, implicit strings, weird number formats, etc.) are valid in theory but I've never encountered them causing any real-life issues.XML is ok for complex docs where you have a detailed structure and relationships. JSON is good for simple objects. YAML is good for being something to switch to for the illusion of progress.
Meh. I just wish XML was easier to parse. I have to shuttle a lot of XML data back and forth. As far as I can tell, the only way to query the data is to download a whole engine to run a special query language, and that doesn't really integrate into any of my workflows. JSON retains the hierarchy and is trivially parsed in almost any programming language. I bet a JSON file containing the exact same data would be much smaller also, since you don't list each tag twice.
There are parsing libraries, maybe not as many or as open, but they exist.
It's still using the lesser of 3 evils, we need a fourth human readable data interchange format.
"Problem: There are ~~3~~ 4 standards
Obligatory xkcd
>TOML has entered the channel
Any human-readable format compatible with JSON is inevitably going to be used as an interchange format...
Hmm, hard to argue with that :P
