    YAML for human-written files, JSON for back-to-front and protobuf for back-to-back. XML is an abomination.

      YAML is good for files that have a very flexible structure or need to define a series of steps. Like github workflows or docker-compose files. For traditional config files with a more or less fixed structure, TOML is better I think
