Re: JSON or YAML?

I'm using JSON becuase of it's compatibility with javascript and python both. I never used YAML but i think the compatibility's problem are bigger with YAML than json.

My 2 cents.

It depends on where your data is coming from. YAML has less cruft in it, so if you're writing your own serializer you can consider it to have an advantage over JSON.

OTOH, many applications can already export to JSON, so you can leverage that if that's the case.

Finally, If you're writing anything by hand, YAML is much faster.

Personal preference.  Python has excellent libraries to support parsing both JSON and YAML.

Helle everybody,

Just a short and simple question:

It seams that both JSON and YAML can be used for initial data loading. (among other data types but I don't care about them for the moment)

But can't figure out what the up and/or downsides of them are.

Is it purely a matter of personal preference or there one better to use than the other for initial data loading. And which one would be the most preferred, if this is the case?

Many thanks in advance!
