I remember one time designing the simplest and most readable data format ever and came up with Dixy [0] after removing all I could and still make it usable I'm leaving it here because it will never be used for anything but at least it may inspire somebody design a better format with simplicity in mind [0] https://github.com/kuyawa/Dixy
In JSON vs. XML

YAML and its "Arrays" are really broken. The problem I see with Internet Object is that it's also implying this kind of mechanism. Every time I read about new formats, they seem to get either the 1-n relations or the n-n relations implemented well, but not both. I guess that's what's so hard about map/reduce... Regarding YAML: somebody on HN mentioned his project DIXY a couple years ago, and it's much much _much_ easier to parse than YAML. [1] I'm using this over YAML pretty much everywhere now.
